Moonrising Today on 29 October 2026: Karwa Chauth Moon Sighting and Fast-Breaking Rituals

Karwa Chauth is observed by married women who fast throughout the day for their husbands' well-being. The fast is traditionally concluded after sighting the Moon and offering Arghya. Women perform the evening rituals before breaking their fast.

Sankashti Chaturthi 2026: Moonrise and Fast-Breaking Rituals

Sankashti Chaturthi is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Devotees observe a fast and perform prayers, with moonrise marking an important part of the traditional fast-breaking rituals. The expected Moon timing differs from one city to another, making local timings important for those observing the fast.

Will Cloudy Weather Affect Moon Sighting Today?

The evening Moon sighting may not be smooth in some parts of India. After Cyclone Arnab crossed the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts on October 28, cloudy weather and rain chances have raised concerns for people fasting in Delhi-NCR and several other regions.

The cyclone will not change the Moon's actual rising time. Moonrise is an astronomical event that remains fixed for each location. However, clouds, rain, haze and poor visibility may make it difficult to sight the Moon immediately after it rises. Devotees should account for local weather and horizon visibility while planning their evening rituals.
