Karwa Chauth is an important festival, cherished and celebrated in Indian families with great joy. The festival echoes the love of the married couples. This year the schools throughout Punjab particularly in Jalandhar and Amritsar will be closed to commemorate the festive significance of the day.
The day is marked as a special day of religious importance. The married woman observes a fast for over 12 hours. Their fasting is supposed to be done so that their husbands live long lives. The festival is celebrated with the women being loved in preferably red color with jewelry and proper 16 shringars.
The moon holds a certain significance on this day since the married women break their fast after they worship the moon and then worship their husband. Even the husbands love this day by reciprocating their affection gestures in terms of gifts and dinners. Over time it is also seen that the husbands reciprocate their love by fasting for their wives.
This year schools have announced a holiday on October 10 for this day. One of the most reputated schools of Jalandhar, like DAV School, Cambridge International School and Mayor World have confirmed this school to True Scoop. This is auspicious news as the children and the teachers can celebrate the day with their family members.
