Thursday, October 29, 2026. New Delhi reference timings with practical festival context and direct links to the other 2026 muhurat pages.
Karwa Chauth is a North Indian marital vrata observed by many married women and, in some families, by couples together. The fast traditionally begins before sunrise and is concluded after sighting the moon and completing the evening ritual.
The moonrise time is location-sensitive, so the 8:17 PM value on this page is specifically the New Delhi reference. The puja window occurs earlier in the evening. Families should follow their household, community or temple tradition when customs differ.
Use the place where the ritual will occur, especially for sunset-, moonrise- and Pradosh-based observances.
The highlighted window is tied to the festival’s traditional rule: not merely a generic auspicious hour.
Temple, sampradaya, regional and household traditions can legitimately emphasize different steps or secondary windows.
Karwa Chauth 2026 is Thursday, October 29, 2026 for the New Delhi reference used on this page.
The primary New Delhi reference is 5:38 PM – 6:56 PM. See the timing cards above for related windows.
Hindu observance rules can depend on local sunrise, sunset, moonrise and tithi boundaries. Another city can therefore have a different clock time and occasionally a different civil date.
No. Use these timings as a reference and consult a Panchang calculated for the city where the puja, fast or ritual will actually be observed.
