Karwa Chauth, a popular festival among married women in India, is being celebrated on Saturday this year (October 27). The festival is primarily celebrated in states like Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh.

According to Mahabharatha's Vana Parva, the festival’s origins can be traced back to the time when Savitri begged the god of death, Lord Yama for her husband’s soul. During this day, married women wear vibrant clothes and apply beautiful and intricate mehendi designs on their hands. They wait till the moon to rise to break their fast. They do not eat or drink after the sun rises until they see the moon at night.

Usually the married women fast on the day, hoever, some spinsters also keep the Karva Chauth vrat (fast) to pray for the logevity and happiness of their future husbands.
