Why this date?· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: Kartika Krishna Chaturthi (Ashwin Krishna Chaturthi in the Amanta calendar).
It is kept on the day Chaturthi is current at moonrise; the fast ends after sighting the moon.
Dates are calculated for New Delhi. In other cities, and especially outside India, the tithi changes at a different local time, so a festival can fall a day earlier or later. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima. How we calculate
About Karwa Chauth· महत्व
The day begins with sargi, a pre-dawn meal sent by the mother-in-law. In the evening women gather in their finery to hear the Karwa Chauth katha, the story of Queen Veeravati, and worship Karwa Mata (Parvati) with an earthen karwa pot. When the moon rises they see it through a sieve, offer it water, and take their first sip from their husband's hands.
It is kept most widely in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
