Karwa Chauth is a festival which is celebrated in most of North India and is being celebrated on 22nd October this year. This Festival falls on the 4th day post the Full moon day and hence the term Chauth- while "Karwa" represents an Earthen Pot.
On this day, married women observe fast during the day and break the fast only in the evening after seeing the moon. It is mainly done for the well being of the husbands. While this festival is not common in south, my MIL observes the fast on Karwa Chauth as she had spent most of her time in Delhi and hence got used to this custom.
