Karwa Chauth Puja Muhurat has arrived and women dressed in red have started gathering in neighbourhood parks. Masks are a special accessory this year as a safety measure against Covid-19. Karwa Chauth puja time ends at 6:39 pm today. According to tradition Karwa Chauth Vrat Katha will be read together. It is a beautiful sight as women in colourful clothes sit in a circle with their Karwa Chauth Thalis to pray for their husbands' wellbeing. The tinkling of bangles and mehndi on women's hands have added cheer amid the gloomy pandemic.
