It is the time of the year when women keep fast for their husband. They eat nothing for the entire day and take a bite only after seeing the moon. Yes, it is the festival of Karva Chauth, which falls on the fourth day of Hindu lunisolar calendar in the month of Kartik. It is believed that women do the fast for the safety and longevity of their husbands.
