Karwa Chauth: dates, muhurat and meaning.

What is Karwa Chauth?

The karwa is the earthen pot offered in the evening puja, when women sit in a circle, pass the thalis and hear the vrata katha of Veeravati. The sargi — the pre-dawn meal from the mother-in-law — opens the day.

Because the fast breaks at moonrise, and moonrise depends on the Chaturthi tithi and local horizon, the moonrise time is the number every household checks — the app computes it per city.

Muhurat on Karwa Chauth

Two timings matter: the evening puja muhurat (roughly the late-afternoon shubh span) and moonrise for breaking the fast. The Abhijit Muhurat above is the daytime anchor; the app's city computation gives both exactly.
