Exploring The Start Of The Day

Karwa chauth is a day of fast. Married women fast and do not eat food or drink water for whole day. On this day Hindu women offer prayers seeking the welfare, prosperity, welfare and longevity of their husbands. Karwa Chauth falls about nine days before Diwali on the Kartik ki chauth sometime in October or November. He is the most important fast observed by women in northern India. A woman keeps a fast for the welfare of her husband, who becomes her protector after she leaves her parents' house. Her husband provides food, shelter, clothing, respectability, comfort and happiness. This is really very difficult to fast when a track begins and ends before sunrise to worship the moon, which usually rises about 20:45 No food or water should be taken after 4 am or after sunrise.
