Extending her greetings to women across the country on the occasion, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said, "This is such a holy occasion. Women across the country fast for their husbands...I extend greetings to all women of the country..."

Earlier in the day, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also extended greetings on Karwa Chauth, highlighting the symbolic representation of feminine faith and resilience in the festival.

In a post on social media platform X, Dhami wrote, "Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the maternal power on the auspicious festival of Karva Chauth, the symbol of unbroken good fortune. This festival is a symbol of the love, sacrifice, and unwavering faith of feminine power. May this sacred occasion further strengthen the sweetness in all your lives; that is our wish."

Karwa Chauth, predominantly celebrated by married women across North India, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. The festival falls on Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Kartik, coinciding with Sankashti Chaturthi, a fasting day dedicated to Lord Ganesha.

On this day, married women observe a nirjala fast, abstaining from both food and water, from sunrise to moonrise, for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The fast concludes only after sighting the moon and performing the ritual of offering water to it, followed by prayers for marital harmony.

While I respect the tradition, I hope we can also acknowledge that in modern times, the essence of mutual love and respect matters more than just women fasting. Would be nice to see more inclusive celebrations where both partners participate equally.

Jaspinder Narula's presence makes it even more special! Her devotional songs would have added so much beauty to the celebrations. Karwa Chauth brings back such fond memories of my mother and aunts celebrating together. ❤️

Good to see our leaders participating in cultural events. However, I hope such celebrations don't become mere photo opportunities and the actual spirit of the festival is maintained. The real beauty of Karwa Chauth lies in the personal, intimate celebrations at home.

This is my 8th Karwa Chauth! The feeling when you finally see the moon and break your fast with your husband is indescribable. 🥰 More power to all the women keeping the fast today. May your prayers be answered!
