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.
