By evening, the Jan Seva Sadan was resplendent with festive joy. Devout women, dressed in traditional attire, exchanged greetings and blessings for Karva Chauth. The sight of younger women touching the feet of elderly women and seeking their blessings created a deeply emotional and spiritual atmosphere. The evening began with the recitation of the Karva Chauth Katha (legend of the festival), which all fasting women listened to with devotion. This was followed by cultural performances that filled the environment with joy and celebration. Many participants expressed that it was the first time they had witnessed such an organized and heartwarming celebration of Karva Chauth in Delhi, crediting the Chief Minister for making the festival truly special.

As the moon rose, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with the other women, performed the rituals with devotion and prayed for the long life and well-being of their husbands, bringing the sacred fast to its traditional conclusion.

On this occasion, Chief Minister Mrs. Rekha Gupta said that Karva Chauth is a symbol of India’s rich cultural heritage and the profound traditions of womanhood. The festival not only represents the eternal bond of faith and devotion between husband and wife but also embodies the values of sacrifice, love, and unity that define our family system. She added that Karva Chauth exemplifies the unwavering faith and devotion of Indian women, who observe this fast with sincerity and joy for the long life of their husbands, the prosperity of their families, and the well-being of all.

She further said that even in today’s changing times, this festival remains a powerful means of staying connected to our cultural roots. The true beauty of Karva Chauth, she said, lies not only in fasting but in the confluence of emotions, the warmth of relationships, and the spirit of devotion that strengthens family bonds. The sight of women, adorned in traditional attire, listening to the Katha, exchanging good wishes, and performing the rituals under the moonlight, brings alive the very soul of Indian culture.
