As dusk settles on Friday, October 10, 2025, married women in Haridwar eagerly await the moon’s arrival. The much-awaited sight of the “Chand” symbolizes love, faith, and the sacred bond of marriage. Karwa Chauth beautifully blends devotion and festivity, marked by intricate mehendi, decorated thalis, and the day-long fast.
Karwa Chauth 2025 is among the most cherished festivals for married Hindu women, celebrated with deep devotion across India. Women observe a nirjala fast—abstaining from food and water—for their husbands’ health, prosperity, and long life. The fast concludes only after glimpsing the moon and performing evening rituals with their spouses.
Karwa Chauth will be observed on Friday, October 10, 2025. According to the Hindu lunar calendar, the festival takes place in the month of Kartik on the fourth day following the full moon, or Purnima.

Around this time, women who are fasting can start getting ready for their moon-viewing ceremonies, making sure they have finished their evening puja and adorned their thalis before the moonrise.
The Karwa Chauth Puja Muhurat in Haridwar is anticipated to take place between 5:45 and 6:55 PM, according to the Panchang. Women worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati during this time, and they also use Karwa, or earthen pots, which represent wealth and marital happiness.
5:45 PM to 6:55 PM is the Puja Muhurat, and the Time frame of the Puja is around one hour and ten minutes.
Traditionally, the Karwa Chauth Katha is recited during the puja period, usually in the evening before the moonrise. Because it describes the devotion and sacrifice of Queen Veeravati, who witnessed the first Karwa Chauth, hearing or reciting the story is regarded as auspicious.
Katha Time: Before the moonrise, from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m.
On Friday, October 10, 2025, at 8:06 PM, the moon (Chand) will rise in Haridwar. After seeing the moon and giving their husbands water through a sieve (chhanni), women who are keeping the fast can break it.
