Karva Chauth is one of the most beautiful festivals that celebrates the sacred bond between husband and wife. On this day, married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for the long life and prosperity of their husbands.
At LagnaVaarta, we believe Karva Chauth is not just a festival — it’s an emotional celebration of love, trust, and togetherness. Whether you’re newly married or have spent years together, this day strengthens the foundation of your marriage through devotion and faith.

The word Karva means "earthen pot" (symbol of prosperity), and Chauth means "the fourth day" after the full moon in the Hindu month of Kartik.
This day represents:
Eternal love and marital devotion.
A woman’s prayer for her husband’s long life.
A time for couples to renew their emotional bond.
It’s also believed that unmarried women observing this fast with pure intentions are blessed with a suitable and loving life partner — making it a hopeful and divine festival for all.
The fast begins before sunrise with a special meal known as Sargi, prepared by the mother-in-law.
It includes fruits, dry fruits, sweets, and light snacks to give energy throughout the day.
Women wake up early, eat the Sargi, and begin their nirjala (without water) fast.
Throughout the day, women refrain from eating and drinking water.
They spend the day listening to Karva Chauth Katha, applying mehendi, and dressing in traditional attire.
Married women wear red, pink, or maroon sarees, symbolizing love and marital bliss.
As the evening sets in, women gather in groups with decorated Karvas (pots) and thalis.
They listen to the Karva Chauth Vrat Katha, which narrates the story of Queen Veeravati’s devotion.
The puja is performed in front of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva with diya, chandan, flowers, and sweets.
When the moon rises, women view the moon through a sieve (chalni), offer water (arghya), and then look at their husband’s face through the same sieve.
The husband then offers his wife water and the first morsel of food — a moment filled with emotion, gratitude, and love.
