3. Refrain from Oily and Fried Foods: After the moonrise, avoid consuming heavy, fried, or spicy food when breaking the fast. Such foods can cause bloating, acidity, and discomfort after a long day of fasting. Opt for light, nourishing meals like fruits, khichdi, or milk-based dishes.
4. Never Skip Sargi: Sargi, the pre-dawn meal prepared by the mother-in-law, is crucial for maintaining energy throughout the day. It includes fruits, dry fruits, sweets, and water, ensuring the body stays nourished until moonrise.

Karwa Chauth is also known as Karak Chaturthi, it is one of the most sacred fasting days for married Hindu women. According to Dharamasindhu, Nirnayasindhu, and Vratraj, only women observe this fast for the long life, health, and prosperity of their husbands, sons, and grandsons.

The day coincides with Sankashti Chaturthi, observed for Lord Ganesha. On Karwa Chauth women worship Lord Shiva and his family, including Goddess Parvati, Lord Kartikeya and Lord Ganesha. Representations of Goddess Parvati, such as Goddess Gaura and Chauth Mata are also revered during the Puja.

This fast is strictly observed without consuming food or water from sunrise until the moonrise, reflecting devotion and faith.

The Karwa Chauth fast begins at 6:20 AM on October 10, 2025. Women start their day with a morning bath and take the Sankalp (pledge) to observe the fast for the long life and prosperity of their husbands, as well as the wellbeing of their family. The fast is strict, meaning no food or water should be consumed from sunrise until the moonrise in the evening. The fast continues until 8:14 PM, after which the moon is sighted and the fast is broken.

The moonrise on Karwa Chauth 2025 is expected at 8:14 PM. This timing is significant because the fast can only be broken after sighting the moon. Devotees traditionally view the moon through a sieve and make an offering of water, known as Argha, to Chandra (Moon God) before taking the first sip of water and eating food. The moonrise time may slightly vary depending on your city and location, so it’s recommended to check a reliable local source or panchang for precise timing.

The Karwa Chauth Puja is usually performed during Sandhya time, starting after sunset. Women worship Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva, Lord Kartikeya, and Lord Ganesha, either individually or in groups. The puja begins with drawing or placing images of Chauth Mata and Goddess Gaura, followed by chanting mantras and narrating the Karwa Chauth Mahatamya. The Karwa (earthen pot) filled with water, milk, coins, and precious stones is offered as charity to a Brahmin or an eligible woman. The puja concludes with waiting for the moonrise to perform the final offering before breaking the fast.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken only after sighting the moon. Women traditionally look at the moon through a sieve, offer Argha (water), and then view their husband through the same sieve before taking their first sip of water. After this, they can have food. It is a moment of joy, gratitude, and celebration, marking the culmination of a day-long fast and devotion. Families often celebrate together, with women dressed in vibrant traditional attire and beautifully decorated puja thalis.

The Karwa Chauth Vrat Katha tells the story of Veeravati, a devoted wife of a Brahmin. Veeravati observed the fast with full devotion, but fainted due to hunger. Her seven brothers tricked her by creating the illusion of the moon using a lamp and sieve. Believing it was moonrise, Veeravati broke the fast prematurely, leading to her husband’s untimely death. Goddess Indrani appeared to console her, instructing her to observe the fast with devotion every month, including Karwa Chauth. By following the rituals properly, Veeravati eventually revived her husband, emphasizing the power of faith, devotion, and meticulous observance of the fast.

Observing Karwa Chauth requires strict adherence to tradition. Women should avoid consuming any food or water from sunrise to moonrise. The day should be spent in prayer, preparing for the evening puja, and performing household duties with mindfulness. It is recommended to wear traditional attire and apply mehendi (henna) if possible. Married women observe this fast for the long life and wellbeing of their husbands, while unmarried women may do so seeking a good life partner. Husbands can also choose to fast in support of their wives, though this is optional.

The moonrise for Karwa Chauth 2025 is expected at 8:14 PM. This marks the crucial moment for devotees, as the fast can only be broken after sighting the moon. Women traditionally view the moon through a sieve and make an offering of water, known as Argha, before taking the first sip of water and having their meal. Families are preparing to gather in the evening to witness this symbolic and auspicious moment together.

Karwa Chauth 2025 will be observed on Friday, October 10. The day-long fast, or upavasa, begins at 6:20 AM and will continue until 8:14 PM, lasting nearly 14 hours. The auspicious puja muhurat is from 5:58 PM to 7:12 PM, providing the ideal window for performing the evening rituals. Women across North India, particularly in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, and Madhya Pradesh, are already gearing up to observe this sacred day with devotion and traditional fervor.
