New Delhi: Karwa Chauth is around the corner, all ready to be celebrated on October 9, 2025. Married women across India, especially in Northern states, observe a day-long fast for their husbands and their long lives. It is one of the most romantic festivals of India that brings couples closer to each other. But what happens when your partner lives far away and is not beside you on this special day? In today's fast-paced world, couples often live in long-distance relationships due to jobs, studies, and personal commitments. While being apart from your loved one at festivals can be tough, love doesn't need to take a backseat. With a little creativity and planning, you too can celebrate Karwa Chauth virtually in a special way that will be meaningful and memorable.
So, before you think that it is impossible to celebrate Karwa Chauth virtually, hold that thought, and keep reading to explore some practical tips to ace Karwa Chauth in a long-distance relationship. Don't worry, you are not being clingy or cliche, but lovable and cute!
1. Sending Sargi online
Although nothing can beat the feeling of sharing sargi together with your partner, but when you two are not physically together, you can still share the tradition of sargi. You can send a wholesome breakfast basket or a meal through food delivery apps. Once both of you have the breakfast ready, get on a video call and enjoy Sargi together.
2. Surprise them with special gifts
Receiving a special gift on Karwa Chauth from your partner when you both are not physically together is the most wholesome feeling. You could send any thoughtful gift - personalised keepsake, festive outfit, or even something symbolic of your best moments together.
3. Video call moon-sighting
One of the most emotional moments of Karwa Chauth is breaking the fast after seeing the moon. Couples in long-distance relationships can video-call each other at the time of moon sight. This will keep the essence of the festival - seeing the moon together.
4. Exchange handwritten letters and notes
While gifts and digital messages/calls are a good way of expressing love on the festival, handwritten letters delivered with flowers before Karwa Chauth are considered romantic on another level.
5. Celebrate with shared rituals
Even if you and your partner are not physically present together, you can feel the festive vibe. Light diyas, decorate the home with fairy lights, dress up in festive attire, and follow the traditions while staying connected online. Share photos, do video calls, and you will feel like you're part of the same celebration as your partner.
6. Plan post Karwa Chauth celebration
Once Karwa Chauth is over, plan a small getaway or a big vacation so that you can spend some quality time together with your partner. If you don't want to travel, plan a simple date or a cosy night in to keep the excitement alive.
A long-distance relationship can test your patience, but festivals like Karwa Chauth are beautiful reminders of love, faith, and commitment. With a little thoughtfulness, technology, and creativity, you can celebrate the bond of togetherness—even from miles apart. After all, it’s not the distance that defines your relationship, but the love you put into it.
So this Karwa Chauth 2025, whether you’re separated by cities or continents, remember—the moon is the same, and love always finds a way to shine through.
