Sharing glimpses of the celebration on social media, Dr Sharma expressed gratitude for being able to uphold and participate in cultural practices that have been passed down through generations.

After offering water to the moon, the husband gives her water to break the fast. Today, following the traditional method, on the occasion of Karwa Chauth, I had the good fortune to perform the worship and rituals along with my wife at my ancestral home.”
