The month of October is one that is filled with excitement and festivities every year. Festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Durga Puja and others often fall in or around this time of year. But there's another festival that usually falls around this time as well; a festival that is celebrated by many married women across India - Karva Chauth. Karva Chauth is a festival that falls on the fourth day after the full moon in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Kartik. Kartik is a month in the Hindu calendar that typically overlaps October and November. Typically, Karva Chauth is a festival in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for the safety and long lives of their husbands.
While Karva Chauth might hold a lot of meaning and sentiment for many married couples around India, it is also a day that women especially like to dress up while breaking their fasts. Karva Chauth is definitely a festival that warrants new outfits for all the women keeping fasts. That's why we've put together a few outfits that we think you might enjoy wearing this Karva Chauth.
Brighten up the room with this festive orange anarkali. We love the silver gold embroidery on the bodice and the double layered fabric that gives the garment a soft and elegant look. It is priced at Rs 1,499 on Amazon.
One can never really go wrong with pink. This rani pink anarkali with mint green detailing has our hearts. We love the block print and mint green edging on the bodice, the light mukesh style work on the skirt and the mint green brocade borders. It is priced at Rs 1,839 on Amazon.
Make a statement in this multi-coloured, high-low, tie and dye kurtaon Karva Chauth. With light work on the collar and edges of the sleeves, this kurta is enough on its own. It is priced at Rs 679 on Amazon.
This teal coloured cotton anarkaliis light and understated and yet rather festive. With work only around the bodice, this piece is ideal if you want to look dressy while still pulling off a minimalistic and classic look. It is priced at Rs 3,750.
