The
festive season in India has officially begun, and we are loving all the vibes around us. Be it Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, or even Karwa Chauth, festivities bring friends and families together like never before. Speaking of Karwa Chauth 2023, the auspicious day for celebrating love is here.
While the festival holds spiritual importance, it is now celebrated with a modernized touch of fashion and feminism.
With husbands joining their wives to fast for each other's long and healthy lives,
Karwa Chauth 2023 has now become inclusive and gender-neutral. Before we move on to the main point of writing this article, let's understand the importance of this Indian festival.
Why is Karwa Chauth celebrated?
Every year, women observe a day-long rigorous fast by not drinking water or eating anything until the full moon rises. Celebrated in October or November in the Hindu lunar month of Kartika, married women of western and nothern origin celebrate Karwa Chauth or Karaka Chaturthi for their husband's long life and prosperity.
The Hindu festival is celebrated to please Goddess Parvati, who observed a rigorous fast to have Lord Shiva as her husband. Apart from the Goddess, women also pray to Lord Shiva, Karwa Mata, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartikeya.
