    Karva Chauth

    Karva Chauth related products are on display in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, on September 14, 2024. Karva Chauth, also known as Karwa Chauth or Karaka Chaturthi, is a Rajput Hindu festival celebrated by Hindu women in Northern India. On Karva Chauth, women observe a fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety, long life, and good health of their husbands or future partners. Once the moon is visible, it is customary for a fasting woman to view the moon or its reflection in a vessel filled with water, through a sieve, or through the cloth of a dupatta. Then, the woman looks at her husband's face through the sieve. The woman says a brief prayer asking for her husband's long life. Her husband then takes the water from the thali and offers it to his wife, who takes her first sip of water during the day. The fast is now broken, and the woman can have a complete meal.

                    Nepali Hindu women are painting their palms with Heena, commonly called ''mehendi,'' at a fair in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 2, 2024, as part of a ritual in the month of Shrawan. The month of Shrawan is considered sacred by Hindu devotees and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. During this time, females are keeping fasts and adorning green, yellow, and red bangles and beads. Especially on Mondays, devotees of all ages and sexes are going to the Shiva temple to worship the Lord. It is believed that unmarried girls keeping fasts on every Monday of the month will get the husband of their choice. Married women, however, are keeping the fasts for the good health and prosperity of their husbands and family members. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
