For centuries, Karwa Chauth is celebrated as the day on which women come together, dressed up in their best sarees and bedecked in jewellery to fast and pray. It is observed for a happy married life and for the well-being of the husband. Keeping up with the tradition, Bollywood films have played up the romance of Karva Chauth, portraying young wives dressed in shimmering costumes, lighted by dreamy moon glow.
