Karwa Chauth 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, October 10. This popular Hindu festival is observed by married women across India, especially in states such as Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. On this day, women observe a nirjala vrat, meaning they do not eat or drink anything from sunrise till moonrise. The fast is kept for the long life, safety, and prosperity of their husbands. Karwa Chauth is also a celebration of love, faith, and togetherness, where women dress beautifully, apply mehendi, and take part in special prayers and rituals.
Date and Muhurat
This year, on Karwa Chauth 2025, the Chaturthi Tithi will begin at 10:54 PM on October 9 and end at 7:38 PM on October 10. Since the fasting day depends on when the Chaturthi Tithi is active, Karwa Chauth 2025 will be observed on October 10. The puja muhurat is from 5:57 PM to 7:11 PM, during which women perform the main rituals and offer prayers for their husbands’ long life and happiness.
Significance and Traditions
Karwa Chauth holds deep spiritual and emotional value. It is said that Goddess Parvati observed this fast to gain Lord Shiva as her husband, and since then, women have followed the same belief for their husbands’ longevity. The day is marked by devotion, togetherness, and festive celebrations. Women wear colourful sarees or lehengas, share gifts, sing traditional songs, and join friends or family for the evening puja. The fast symbolises not only love, but also faith, patience, and the sacred bond of marriage, which strengthens with every passing year.
