Karwa Chauth NZ 2020

KARWA CHAUTH / KARVA CHOTH 2020 in New Zealand

If you are unable to see moon due to cloud, no worries. Traditional practice is to pray and eat in the morning after sunrise. Since exact moon rise time is accurately known now-a-days, if it too cloudy, it is fine to pray and eat few minutes after moon rise time. This is our opinion.
