Karwa Chauth is a significant day in the lives of Hindu women. On this day married women observe a day’s fast and pray for the longevity of their husband’s life. Adding to the spirit of festival are decorated markets, where women enjoy their shopping spree.
Karwa Chauth has received a more religious undertone because of the various items that are offered to the Goddess Parvati and a didactic story that is narrated by an elderly woman before the fast is over.
