Karwa Chauth, a significant Hindu festival primarily observed in Northern India, is a day dedicated to love and commitment among married couples. On this occasion, married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, abstaining from both food and water. This fast is undertaken for the well-being and longevity of their husbands.
