When
it
comes
to
the
celebration
of
festivals
on
the
big
screen,
it
always
turns
out
to
be
a
memorable
fare!
Just
like
Diwali,
Holi,
Ganesh
Chaturthi,
the
festival
of
Karwa
Chauth
too
has
been
portrayed
beautifully
in
our
Hindi
films.
Karwa
is
another
word
for
'pot'
(a
small
earthen
pot
of
water)
and
chauth
means
'fourth'
in
Hindi
(a
reference
to
the
fact
that
the
festival
falls
on
the
fourth
day
of
the
dark-fortnight,
or
Krishna
paksh,
of
the
month
of
Kartik).
Karwa
Chauth
mainly
celebrated
in
North
India,
is
a
one-day
festival
where
married
women
fast
for
their
husband's
long
and
prosperous
life
and
break
the
fast
only
after
seeing
the
moon
with
their
better
halves.
These
days,
even
married
men
observe
a
fast.
This
year,
Karwa
Chauth
falls
on
Sunday,
October
24,
2021.
To
make
this
day
even
more
special,
we
bring
you
a
playlist
of
songs,
which
aptly
capture
the
essence
of
this
tradition.
Are
you
ready
for
it?
