🌙  Karwa Chauth 2025: Date, Story Behind, Rituals and 20 Heartfelt Wishes 🌸

Karwa Chauth 2025 will be observed on Friday, October 10. Women keep a strict fast from sunrise to moonrise, offer arghya to the moon, and break their fast with prayers for their spouse’s long life and well-being. The festival is also known as Karak Chaturthi; “Karwa/Karak” refers to the earthen pot used in the ritual and “Chauth” denotes the fourth lunar day in Kartik. City-wise moonrise and puja muhurat vary, with Delhi’s moonrise around 8:13 PM and an evening puja window commonly cited between 5:57 PM and 7:11 PM in 2025

Story behind Karwa Chauth

1. Queen Veeravati and the lesson of unwavering devotion

One of the most recited Kathas is of Queen Veeravati, who observed her first Karwa Chauth fast. Weakened by the nirjala vrat, she was tricked by her brothers into believing the moon had risen and broke her fast early—only to receive news of her husband’s death. Her fervent prayers and strict observance the following year miraculously brought him back to life, underscoring the power of steadfast faith and the sanctity of completing the fast till true moonrise

2. Karva Devi’s courage and Yama’s blessing

Another origin story speaks of Karva Devi, whose husband was seized by a crocodile while bathing. Karva’s fearless intervention and unwavering resolve compelled Yama, the god of death, to spare her husband and bless him with extended life—making Karva a symbol of fidelity, courage, and the protective power of a devoted wife.

3. Savitri and Satyavan: love that defied fate

The legend of Savitri, who married the exiled and ill-fated Satyavan, tells of her severe penance and devotion that moved Yama to restore her husband’s life. This tale is often invoked on Karwa Chauth as a paragon of marital commitment triumphing over destiny

4. Draupadi’s fast and Lord Krishna’s counsel

In the Mahabharata tradition, Draupadi, anxious for Arjuna’s safety during his meditation and later amid war, sought Lord Krishna’s guidance. Advised to fast as Goddess Parvati did for Lord Shiva, her devotion is said to have safeguarded Arjuna and contributed to the Pandavas’ victory—linking Karwa Chauth to divine counsel and protective grace

5. Etymology, regions, and roots of practice

Karwa Chauth, also called Karaka Chaturthi, is rooted in North and West India and falls on the fourth day after the full moon. “Karwa/Karaka” signifies the earthen water pot; “Chauth” is the fourth lunar day. Historical notes link the practice to women praying for husbands during distant campaigns and to agricultural cycles (Rabi sowing), reflecting community, harvest, and household symbolism woven into the festival’s fabric

🌸 Rituals and significance in 2025

• Sargi (pre-dawn meal): Given by the mother-in-law, it sustains and blesses the faster for the day ahead. Women then observe a nirjala fast until moonrise, adorning themselves with solah shringar and performing evening puja before offering arghya to the moon and breaking the fast with their husband’s first sip of water and food
• Puja and katha: The evening muhurat (often cited around 5:57 PM–7:11 PM in 2025) is used to perform the puja and listen to the Katha that narrates the festival’s stories of faith, love, and devotion.
• Meaning today: Karwa Chauth symbolizes love, trust, and commitment. Many couples celebrate mutual devotion, and some men also fast to honor equality and togetherness

1. Sargi (Pre-Dawn Meal): Prepared by the mother-in-law, includes fruits, dry fruits, parathas, and sweets.
2. Nirjala Fast: Women abstain from food and water until moonrise.
3. Evening Puja: Women dress in bridal attire, apply mehendi, and perform puja with a decorated thali and Karwa (earthen pot).
