Actress Raveena Tandon also shared her look from the pre-karwa chauth party that she hosts every year. Raveena posted a couple of selfies on Tuesday evening, with the caption: "#prekarwachauthparty ki tayyaariyaan (Preparations for pre Karwa Chauth party)!"

The festival of Karva Chauth is celebrated on the Chaturthi Tithi of Kartik Krishna Paksha according to the Hindu calendar. On this day, women keep fast for the long life of their husbands by keeping the Nirjala vrat (without even drinking water) and offer prayers to the moon in the evening. Women worship the moon along with their husbands and only after the puja, they break their fast. In many communities, even unmarried women observe fast on this day and pray for a good husband.
