What is Karwa Chauth?
Karwa Chauth is a festival, mostly celebrated in northern India, on which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for their husband's wellbeing. The day begins with sargi (a pre-dawn meal), includes an evening puja, and ends when the moon is seen through a sieve and the fast is broken.
Because the whole day builds towards the evening, gifts work best when they are timed to it. That is the idea behind several Oye Happy Karwa Chauth hampers.
