If you’re in the UAE and getting ready for Karwa Chauth this year, here’s the scoop — along with all the good vibes, timings, and a touch of that festive warmth. Karwa Chauth in 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, October 10, and honestly, it’s shaping up to be one of those evenings that blend tradition with a little modern sparkle. According to the panchang, the puja muhurat in Dubai and across the UAE runs from 5:57 PM to 7:11 PM, so that’s your golden window to gather your thali, light the diya, and offer prayers to Goddess for your partner’s long and healthy life. The moonrise will happen a bit later — around 5:43 PM UAE time — though depending on where you are, it might be a few minutes earlier or later.See more: Karwa Chauth 2025 moonrise time: When will the moon rise today in Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Chandigarh?

Karwa Chauth falls on the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi, which is the fourth day of the waning moon in the month of Kartik. The rituals are always done in the evening before moonrise, because that’s when the Chaturthi tithi is active — meaning your fast, prayers, and moon-sighting all line up perfectly with the celestial schedule.
Picture this: it’s early evening in Dubai, the sky has that soft golden hue, and there’s a quiet excitement in the air. You’ve spent the day fasting, maybe scrolling through messages from family back home, and now it’s almost time. You set up your puja thali — the sieve, the diya, a bit of sindoor, and of course, that little cup of water to offer when the moon finally peeks out. The whole moment feels surreal. Even if you’re thousands of miles away from home, the emotion stays the same — love, devotion, and a quiet wish for your partner’s well-being.There’s something truly special about celebrating Karwa Chauth in the UAE. Maybe it’s the mix of cultures, maybe it’s how expat communities come together, or maybe it’s just the comfort of knowing that tradition doesn’t fade, no matter where you are. As the evening deepens and the first silver shimmer of the moon appears in the sky, all the waiting, the fasting, the excitement — it all feels worth it. You look through the sieve, offer your prayers, and then finally break your fast with water and a sweet bite — a small ritual, but one that carries centuries of love and devotion.So yes, mark your calendar for October 10, 2025, and plan your day accordingly. Whether you’re in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, the spirit of Karwa Chauth is the same — love wrapped in tradition, faith meeting festivity, and a moment under the moon that never fails to feel magical.Disclaimer: The Karwa Chauth date and timings mentioned here are based on publicly available panchang and astronomical data for the UAE region.
