Karwa Chauth at the Temple: 8.30 am to 10.30 am and 5 pm to 8.30 pm
October 31, 2023 @ 8:30 AM - 8:30 PM
The word Karva Chauth is made up of two words, ‘Karva,’ which means an earthen pot with a spout and ‘Chauth’ which means fourth. The earthen pot is of great significance as it is used by the women to offer water to the moon as part of the festival rituals. It is said that this festival began when women started praying for the safe return of their husbands who went to fight wars in far off lands. It is also held that it is celebrated to mark the end of the harvest season. Whatever be the origins, the festival offers an occasion to strengthen familial ties.
Please note that: Temple timings are 8.30 to 10.30 am and then opens again at 5 pm to 8.30 pm on this day.
