Women observing Karva Chauth in Rajasthan will break their fast after viewing the moon, with city‑specific moonrise times released for Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer.
Karva Chauth, the annual fasting ritual observed by married women across North India, falls in October 2026. On this day, women fast from sunrise until they sight the moon in the evening, performing a traditional aarti before breaking the fast.
Amar Ujala has published a city‑wise schedule indicating the expected time of moon visibility for major towns in Rajasthan, ranging from Jaipur in the east to Jaisalmer in the west. The list enables devotees to coordinate the arghya ceremony and the moment of fast‑breaking with precision.
According to the timetable, the moon will become visible shortly after sunset in each city, after which women will offer prayers and then conclude their fast. The detailed timings are intended to help families across the state observe the ritual uniformly.
The release of these timings underscores the cultural importance of Karva Chauth in Rajasthan, where the festival is celebrated with elaborate meals, folk songs and community gatherings.
