Karwa Chauth 2026: Moonrise Ends Fast

Karwa Chauth is being observed on October 29 this year. The day-long fast ends with the evening Moon sighting, accompanied by prayers and traditional rituals.

The ceremony includes offering water to the Moon, looking at it through a sieve, and receiving the first sip of water from one's husband.

To break the fast, start with a few sips of water, followed by a small serving of fruit or a light snack. Avoid consuming too much food at once.

For dinner, choose something nourishing like moong dal khichdi, dal and rice, or lightly cooked vegetables with roti.
