This year, Karwa Chauth falls on November 04 and while women will mark it by fasting for the longetivity of their husbands as a ritual, mehendi is considered auspicious because it is also believed that the darker the colour of henna on your hand, the more your husband loves you. Mehendi is also considered to signify prosperity and luck, especially on this day.

A prominent Hindu festival, Karwa Chauth witnesses married women fasting throughout the day with the hope of their husband’s good health and longevity. The sixteen traditional makeup steps or steps of solah shringar include wearing ethnic attires like saree or lehenga, ornaments, sindoor or vermillion on the forehead, mehendi on their hands and other beauty rituals from head to toe.
The married women dress up to perform rituals and break their fasts only after sighting the full moon. Celebrated essentially by Northern Indians, four days after Purnima in the month of Kartika, Karwa Chauth is believed to strengthen the bond that a husband shares with his wife.
