Karwa Chauth is a day when married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The festival falls on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik. This year it will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 1. Traditionally, women wake up early to eat a pre-dawn meal known as sargi before beginning their fast, which lasts until they spot the moon in the evening.

On Karwa Chauth, many women create rangoli designs in their homes to celebrate the festival. Rangoli is a traditional Indian art form in which patterns are created on the floor using coloured powders. Rangoli is often created during festivals and other special occasions.
