Karwa Chauth 2025: Check moonrise timings in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram

Karwa Chauth, one of the most significant festivals for married Hindu women, is being celebrated today, October 10, 2025. The day symbolises love, devotion, and the sacred bond of marriage. On this day, women observe a strict fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for the long life and prosperity of their husbands.

The day begins before sunrise with the sargi, a special pre-dawn meal prepared by the mother-in-law. After this, women refrain from eating or drinking anything throughout the day. They dress up in traditional attire, apply mehndi, and adorn themselves with jewellery and makeup for the evening rituals.

The Karwa Chauth puja is an important part of the evening. Women gather together to listen to the Karwa Chauth Katha and perform rituals using the karwa (earthen pot). The puja muhurat for Delhi this year is from 5:57 PM to 7:11 PM. During this period, women perform the evening rituals and then wait for the moon to appear.
