Karva Chauth

Karva Chauth falls on 29/10/2026 this year, marking a day observed mainly across North India, when married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for their husbands' long life and wellbeing.

Across India it's observed through breaking the fast only after sighting the moon through a sieve (chalni) or dupatta, often by lamplight, followed by a meal shared with family. especially significant in Punjabi, Rajasthani and North Indian households, and increasingly observed by some husbands in a reciprocal gesture.

Because many Indian festivals follow the lunar or regional calendars rather than a fixed Gregorian date, the exact day can shift by a day either way — this page reflects the widely reported date for 2026, worth a quick local check closer to the time, especially for moon-sighting-dependent observances like the Eids.

Knowing exactly how many days remain helps with the practical side too: booking leave, planning travel before fares climb, or simply setting expectations with family on when to expect a visit home. That's the gap this countdown fills — one clear, large number, ticking down in real time, so there's no need to keep recalculating by hand or hunting for the date across half a dozen tabs.
