It is celebrated on the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. Karwa Chauth was celebrated as a prayer for the long life of soldiers in the war, and by extension today refers to the long life of a married husband. This festival is very popular amongst married Hindu women in the western and northern parts of India, primarily in Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh. During the Karwa Chauth festival, married Hindu women dedicate the day to their husbands. On this day worship Lord Shiva-Parvati, Swami Kartikeya, Ganesh and Moon.
