Karwa Chauth is the annual celebration which is observed fourth days after the full moon in the Hindu month Karthik. On this day, married women wake up early in the morning, enjoy a lavish and festive breakfast, called Sargi. This meal is traditionally followed by the pledge taking ceremony, called Sankalp, where the women take an oath to complete this stringent fast for the well being of their husband and family. The Karwa Chauth Fast is a Nirjala vrat, which means that the women refrain from having even a drop of water or food, from sunrise till moonrise on the day.

On Karwa Chauth, the fasting women pray to Lord Shiva and his family, especially Goddess Gaura and Chauth Mata, and seek their blessings. Karwa Chauth is often a day of bonding for the women in the family, as most of them choose to stay at home and rest, in efforts to complete the fast without straining themselves too much. And if the mothers-in-law are living far away from them, they often send Happy Karva Chauth 2020 wishes and messages, Karwa Chauth WhatsApp Stickers and Facebook Status pictures to wish their daughters-in-law.
