Karwa Chauth is a significant Hindu festival in India, celebrated on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik, which falls on October 10th this year. This festival is marked by married women observing a strict nirjala fast, refraining from eating and drinking for the entire day and praying for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The festival is also associated with the tradition of Mehndi, which symbolises love and commitment between partners. According to cultural beliefs, the darker the henna on a woman's hands, the more intense the love from her husband.
