Karwa Chauth, a popular Hindu festival, is celebrated predominantly in Northern India. The festival is a celebration of marriage, during which the wife fasts for the day as a prayer for a healthy and long life for her husband, or in the hopes of getting a desirable husband for themselves later on in life. The women dress up, apply henna on their hands, don’t consume even a drop of water, let alone food, until they see the moon.
