Chandra Darshan or moon sight is of utmost importance on the day of Karwa Chauth fast. On this day, married women break their fast only after seeing the moon at night after fasting the whole day.

Since 'Chandra Darshan' is of utmost importance on this day, every woman wants to know when the moon will rise. In such a situation, today we will tell you what is the time of moonrise according to the Panchang (Hindu calendar).

Keep these things in mind while watching the moon on Karwa Chauth
Women watch the moon through a sieve on the night of Karwa Chauth. But take special care that there should be a lamp on the sieve. After this, while watching the moon, you should chant the mantra "Saumyaroop Mahabhag Mantraraj Dwijottam. Mam Purvakritam Paapam Oshadhey Kshamasva Me." at least 3 times. This is the Arghya Mantra, and by chanting it, you get the blessings of the moon. Along with this, while watching the face of your husband, you should chant the mantra "Om Kleem Saubhagya Dehi, Pati Me Shreem Hreem Swaha". If you do the Chandra Darshan ritual in this way, you will get good luck and marital happiness.
