Celebrations of Karwachauth
The day of Karva Chauth is celebrated mostly amongst the entire North Indian community settled either in India and other parts of the world. The most important aspect of this day is that a dawn to dusk fast is undertaken by the women and is broken only after sighting the moon.
The fast is unique perhaps because nowhere in the world does a wife go without food or water just to pray for the longevity and well-being of her husband.
In modern day, with all the trappings of commercialization attached, Karva Chauth, the big fasting day has turned into a full-fledged event. The event is growing bigger with each passing day.
The Halwais, the Mehendi and Churiwallis have traditionally been busy on this auspicious day. But joining the bandwagon in recent times are the beauty parlour owners, the event managers and the restaurant owners.
Karva Chauth special eateries gear up for the occasion. Cashing in on the popularity of 'eating out', most restaurants have special menus for this special day.
No wonder almost every happening-eating joint around town offers plenty of attractive options to choose from.
Various clubs organize special events on this festive day with various stalls, bumper Tambola and even a dance competition.
With so much feasting and fun added to it, fasting had never been so good before!
