Thursday will be an important day for the married Hindu women in North India as they will observe "Karva Chauth", a day-long fast for the love and longevity of their husbands.
The women will begin the fast before sunrise and will spend the day without drinking water. The festival, symbolising love and dedication, is observed on the fourth day after the full moon of the Kartik month of the Hindu calendar, nine days before Diwali, in October or November.
Karva means earthen pot, while Chauth means fourth in Hindi. Lord Shiva, his wife Parvati and their son Kartikeya are worshipped on this day along with the 10 'karvas' filled with sweets.
The women dress in the most beautiful manner by wearing bright, colourful saris or lehengas. Donning the best jewellery, colourful bangles, bindis and Mehendi (henna decoration), they prepare for the day in advance.
Women are all set to shine on Karva Chauth but dear husbands, are you ready to surprise her with thoughtful gifts? If not, here's some help...
A piece of jewellery- As cliche, it may sound but jewellery never disappoints a woman. Have you seen her scrolling some jewellery pieces over her phone? BUY it! Suprise her and she will be head over heel in love with you once again.
Spa session- Trust us, nothing more than a relaxing spa session can make a woman happy. A peaceful session on a day she wants will make her happy, calm and cheerful.
Weekend getaway- This could be a great way to spend some time with your partner. Job, household work etc can take a toll on relationships and quick vacations come as a remedy for them. Take her somewhere nearby, book a fancy resort and spend the weekend chilling with each other.
A professional photoshoot- Women love photoshoots and gifted photoshoot sessions will swoon them. Start hunting for a good photographer and make this karva chauth a special one for her.
Gadgets- How about gifting a swanky phone or tablet? From wireless headphones to products like Dyson Airwrap, she will be thrilled as soon as she will open her gift.
