The festival that all the married women wait for all year long is around the corner. Yeah, we’re talking about Karwa Chauth, a festival that all Hindu women love to embrace. It falls in the hindu month of Kartik, four days after Purnima or the full moon. Like most Hindu festivals, Karwa Chauth is celebrated according to the lunar calendar which accounts for all astronomical positions, bearing in mind the positions of the moon used as a marker for calculating the dates of major festivals.
This year Karak Chaturthi, widely known as Karwa Chauth, will be celebrated on 4 November. Married women keep a fast on this day to worship God for their husband’s good health and wellbeing. The period of fasting begins with sunrise and culminates with moonrise. Women celebrating the festival also abstain from drinking even water for the whole day. To put it briefly, the festival is about a couple’s devotion and love. Therefore it is the husband’s duty to reflect his side of benevolence and gratitude with Karwa Chauth gifts for his wife.

Candlelit Dinner At Home
This is simplistic, but it really works wonderfully. Light some candles, put on some music that really means something to both of you, and serve a meal that you know she enjoys. This is a particularly nice way to make her feel loved if money is tight and this year a meal out at a fancy restaurant is not a choice, or if children are stopping you from going out of the house alone together.
