to 8:07 p.m., while Puja is from 5:43 p.m. This year's festival will take place on Sunday, October 24. Karwa Chauth may be traced back to the Mahabharata, when Savitri implored the deity of death, Lord Yama, for the soul of her spouse. Karwa Chauth fasting is observed during the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of 'Kartik,' according to Drik Panchang. Karwa Chauth, which is widely observed in northern India, is a marriage ceremony in which the wife fasts for the full day for her husband to have a long and healthy life.
