When is Karva Chauth in 2026?

Karva Chauth falls on 29 October 2026. That date is calculated for New Delhi; because the tithi begins and ends at a local clock time, Ganak recomputes it for your own city.

What are the food and fasting rules for Karva Chauth?

Strict form is no food/water after sunrise. A health-modified form may use water, fruit or a simple satvik meal by prior sankalpa. Sargi is a Punjabi and some North-Indian family custom, not a universal prerequisite.

When is the parana — breaking the fast — for Karva Chauth?

Break after local moonrise, moon sighting or prayer, and arghya. If clouds hide the moon, use the verified moonrise shown above and your family practice; do not wait in a way that endangers health. Begin with water, then prasad or light food.

How does Karva Chauth vary by region?

Punjab often emphasises sargi, baya and communal evening gatherings. Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan use differing karva, katha and gift customs. In some homes husbands also fast in reciprocity today—a practice followed in certain families.
