Karva Chauth is a special occasion and an important day of the year when married Indian women pray for their husband’s long life and prosperity. Not that they don’t do so on other days, but this day is significant. The women eat before sunrise and fast the whole day as a penance for their beloved. And once the moon shines upon us, oh, what joy to eat that first bite after a whole day of fasting!

On this auspicious day, women spend the morning meeting friends and relatives, decorating the pooja thalis and anointing each other’s arms and legs with lovely mehndi designs. Mehndi is very important and auspicious on the day of your wedding, and it is the same with Karva Chauth too. Interestingly, mehndi is considered auspicious and is linked to fertility and prosperity. This is exactly what Karva Chauth is all about as well. So before it is too late, here are our picks for some of the best Karva Chauth mehndi designs that you definitely should try out. The designs are not usually as intricate as the bridal ones are, but nonetheless, the variety and creativity of these mehndi designs are sure to inspire.
