In Sanatan culture, the festival of Karva Chauth, which is considered a symbol of unbroken good fortune, unbreakable love and dedication for married women, is celebrated with great enthusiasm every year. Married women observe Nirjala fast from sunrise to moonrise to pray for the long life, good health and bright future of their husbands. For those girls for whom this is the first Karva Chauth after marriage, the excitement and enthusiasm of this festival is on cloud nine. To make this special day memorable for life, every husband and wife want to plan something different and special. After being hungry and thirsty the whole day, when the evening falls and the married women see the face of their spouse after looking at the moon through a sieve, then that moment is very magical. To make this experience more grand and romantic, the place to view the moon should also be equally special. If you also want to make your or your spouse’s first Karva Chauth very special and unique this time, then know about some selected and beautiful places in the country from where seeing the moon will add more sweetness to your relationship.
If we talk about a festival symbolizing love and dedication and there is no mention of the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, then how can this happen? The beauty of Taj Mahal located in the historical city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh is worth seeing in the moonlight. If you want to make your first Karva Chauth like a fairy tale, then you can plan to see the moon shining in the sky from the heritage hotels and roof top restaurants built on the banks of Yamuna in Agra or around the Taj. When you break your fast by looking at the moon with your partner in the background of this historical monument made of white marble, that moment will become the most beautiful and unforgettable chapter of your life. The serene atmosphere and Mughal architecture here adds a royal feel to the traditional flavor of this festival.
When it comes to royal style and romance, the first name that comes to mind is Rajasthan. The view around Lake Pichola located in Udaipur, the city of lakes, becomes very charming on the day of Karva Chauth. If you want to break your fast looking at the shimmering reflection of the moon amid the waves of water, then you can choose one of the best lake-view hotels in Udaipur or a boat ride. Apart from this, Pushkar in Rajasthan is also a very wonderful option, where one gets a different spiritual and relaxing pleasure of worshiping while sitting on the quiet ghats of Pushkar Lake and seeing the moon in the open expanse of the sky. This celebration of the first Karva Chauth amidst traditional folk music and Rajasthani hospitality will deepen your relationship.
If you like to spend time away from the noise, in the peace of nature, cool breeze and amidst the hills, then visiting a beautiful hill station like Manali or the valleys of Uttarakhand will prove to be a great decision. When the moon spreads its moonlight among the high mountains, pine trees and clouds, then the sight seems like a beautiful dream. The open sky and transparent air in the hilly areas makes the sight of the moon even more clear and beautiful. Breaking the Karva Chauth fast with your partner while standing on the balcony of a cozy resort or sitting near the campfire while sipping hot tea will make your journey very romantic and memorable.
If you want to make this festival special amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, then the modern roof-top restaurants and sky-dining cafes of metros like Delhi, Noida, Gurugram or Jaipur are a great option. Nowadays, special Karva Chauth parties are organized on the rooftops of high-rise buildings and societies in these cities, where arrangements are made to see the moon with DJ, music, delicious food and special decorations. You can book a table in advance at a nice roof-top restaurant that offers a clear view of the sky amidst the twinkling lights of the city. No matter the place—a historical heritage, a tranquil lake, a valley in the hills or a tall building in the city—the most important thing is how much love and affection you celebrate this holy festival with your partner. Proper planning and a little preparation can make your first Karva Chauth evening immortalized forever.
