2022 Karwa Chauth Wishes, HD Images, Greetings And Messages

Karwa Chauth is an auspicious festival that is celebrated on a large scale by Hindu women. This elite festival is majorly celebrated in Northern and Western India. It falls on the 4th day after Purnima (a full moon) in a holy month of the Hindi calendar which is called Kartika.

Also, like all usual Hindu festivals, Karwa Chauth is also updated as per the lunisolar calendar. This calendar credits for all kinds of astronomical positionings. So as per its calculations, the festival comes on the 4th day after the formation of the full moon. This year, it will be celebrated on October 13, 2022.

Furthermore, Karwa Chauth is primarily taken as a very important event in Northern India. One notion about it is that in the old days, military exercises were generally organized by men who lived in far-off areas. So they would leave their wives and kids at home to go to the war zones. That is why their wives would mainly pray for their safe and healthy return.

On this day, as part of the festivities, married ladies dress up in new clothing (ideally red, which represents a happy married life) and apply Mehendi to their hands. During the Karwa Chauth puja, women also worship Goddess Parvati. The fast is eventually broken after getting a glimpse of the moon.

The adorned marketplaces, where ladies enjoy their buying binge, add to the festival’s enthusiasm. Karwa Chauth has taken on a more religious undertone as a result of the different things presented to the Goddess Parvati and a didactic narrative recounted by an older woman before the fast is broken. Although this Hindu festival is celebrated by women all across India, it is most popular in the northern states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh.

The festival also comes at the same time as when it is the wheat-sowing period. It is called the starting cycle for the Rabi crop. There are large earthen pots in which the wheat is saved and stored and these are called Karwas.

Therefore, the fasting process is presumed to have started as a prayer for a good harvest in this primarily wheat-eating area of the North West sub-division of India. Another good story about the beginning of this grand festival is related to the feminine friendship’s bond-making act.

And, with the onset of an arranged marriage and its very rich popularity in Northern India, the newlywed is bound to live with her husband as well as in-laws. 

Women start the preparation of Karwa Chauth some days in advance always. They love buying adornments (shringar), jewellery and also puja items. They also buy the Karwa lamps, matthi, and love wearing Mehandi on their hands and feet. They also decorate puja thali (plate) for worshipping the almighty and doing prayers for their husbands.

Additionally, the local bazaars or malls take the initiative to sell all the products needed and related to the festival of Karwa Chauth. The shopkeepers love to display the items which are the latest addition or add-ons in the market. These may involve new designs and models of decorations.

To keep fast, women from Punjab get up early in the morning to eat and drink well just before sunrise. Here, for this fast, in the region of Uttar Pradesh of India, women eat soot feni by mixing it with sugar on the eve of Karwa Chauth. This helps them retain their health on the day of the festival when they have to eat nothing and drink nothing at all for the whole day till the moon rises. 

In the Punjab sub-area of India, for this fast, sargi is taken as an important part of this festival. Here, sargi is taken on as a pre-dawn meal and it has feni included always.

As for eating sargi, it is considered as a traditional ritual which is sent by the in-laws' family the women. If the bride or daughter-in-law lives with her mother-in-law, usually, the pre-dawn meal is cooked by the mother-in-law only.

On the styling front, at the event of Karwa Chauth, women select to wear special garments or dresses. This includes wearing a saree or suit. 

However, some new brides who celebrate Karwa Chauth for the first time generally love wearing their bridal dresses or a new lehenga. They do this to observe the joy and happiness of finding their partners and celebrating with them the most.

Also, women of different states love dressing in their traditional dresses to admire their culture and celebrate the festival with a pure traditional feel.

To conclude, it should be mentioned that Karwa Chauth is an auspicious festival for Hindu couples and they love celebrating it in full zest and happiness..!
