Karva Chauth 2026 on 29 October, no Bhadra shadow
The Story in Brief
Karva Chauth will be observed on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The festival, significant for married Hindu women, involves a day-long fast from sunrise to moonrise for the long life and prosperity of their husbands.
According to Amar Ujala, the puja muhurat in Himachal Pradesh is from 5:38 PM to 6:56 PM. Aaj Tak reports the puja muhurat for the same time, adding that Bhadra will not affect the puja as it ends before sunrise on 29 October. Moonrise timings vary by city, in Delhi it is expected at 8:17 PM, in Mumbai at 9:00 PM.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Amar Ujala and Aaj Tak report identical facts: the date (29 October), the puja muhurat (5:38-6:56 PM), and the core tradition. Amar Ujala leads with local Himachal details and mentions uncertainty about Shukrasta, while Aaj Tak explicitly clarifies that Bhadra ends before sunrise, removing any obstacle. The coverage is uniform, neutral-report across both outlets, with Aaj Tak providing a city-wise moonrise table for practical use. The key shared detail is that women will observe the fast as per tradition on 29 October.
