Karwa Chauth 2026 was observed on October 29 as married women across India fasted and performed traditional rituals, including offering arghya to the moon and looking at the moon through a decorated sieve before breaking their fast. The evening celebrations featured women in colourful attire, holding lit diyas and performing the customary sieve ceremony as the moon rose.
In Mumbai, the festival was marked by large gatherings of women who dressed in vibrant sarees and jewellery, performed the moon‑sighting ritual at around 9:20 pm, and shared the moment with family and neighbours before concluding the fast.
