This is one day in the year where women pray for the longevity of their husband’s life. Celebrated in October, women fast the entire day till they can see the full moon. So, to pass their time, modern women engage in a host of activities throughout the day. Early in the morning, women indulge in heavy food like mathiyan and feniyan. During the day, they while away their time at one of the many Mehendi stalls in Chandigarh. In the evening, they visit the temple with the thali and return home to complete the process in their husband’s presence. It may be a festival for men, but it is as much a festival for women.
