Karva Chauth in Faridabad

Date and timing in this city

In Faridabad (फरीदाबाद), India, the Karva Chauth vrat falls on Kartik Krishna Chaturthi. The date is computed for Faridabad's own sunrise and the local sky, so the observance here is tied to the city's coordinates and to Asia/Kolkata time.

For the years given in this brief:

• 2026: Thursday 29 October 2026
• 2027: Monday 18 October 2027

The fast is observed by married women, and the day is dedicated to Shiva-Parvati. Because the tithi is read from the local panchang, the sunrise and moonrise of Faridabad — not a generic national clock — decide when the vrat begins and ends.

Why the date can differ from India

Karva Chauth is a North India observance, and Faridabad sits within that belt. Even so, the date can differ from other parts of India because the tithi is a moving lunar window, not a fixed calendar entry. A city further east or west may see the same tithi begin or end at a different local moment, and some regions follow amanta reckoning while others follow purnimanta. Where traditions differ — North and South, Smarta and Vaishnava, amanta and purnimanta — the panchang of the place is the practical guide. For Faridabad, the brief gives the dates above; for personal chart questions, a qualified jyotishi is the right person to consult.

Where and how the community celebrates

In Faridabad, as across North India, the day is kept by married women who fast from sunrise and break the fast after moonrise. The observance is tied to Shiva-Parvati, and the telling of the Karva Chauth katha is part of the evening. Households prepare according to their family custom, and the details of the puja — the items kept, the order of the ritual, the food taken at the end — vary from home to home. The brief does not name any venue, temple, event or organiser in the city, so the safest description is the general one: the vrat is kept at home and in the community, in the way each family has received it.

Practical tips

• Check the Faridabad panchang for the exact sunrise and moonrise on the given date, since the vrat is keyed to local timings.
• Note that 2026 falls on a Thursday and 2027 on a Monday; plan the day accordingly.
• Follow your family's customary method for the katha and the parana rather than a generic rule.
• If you are unwell, pregnant or on medication, take guidance from a qualified doctor; the brief makes no health claims.
• For personal chart questions, consult a qualified jyotishi.
