Karva Chauth 2025 Moon Visibility: Today, October 10, 2025, is the holy festival of Karva Chauth. Millions of women across the country are observing a day-long fast to pray for the long life of their husbands. The most important moment at the end of this fast is the sighting of the moon. But the question on everyone’s mind is: will the moon be clearly visible tonight? According to the latest forecast from the Indian Meteorological Department, sky conditions will vary in each city.
Delhi and Northern Cities: Excellent Views
Good news for many cities in northern India, including the capital, Delhi. The sky is expected to be mostly clear in Delhi, meaning people will be able to view the moon without any obstructions. Lucknow will also have excellent visibility after a sunny day and a clear evening. The weather in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad is also favorable, with mostly clear skies providing ideal conditions for moon viewing. Dehradun is also expected to see the moon clearly by evening, although partly cloudy skies may appear by nightfall.
Mumbai and South: Clouds Play
On the other hand, there are challenges in parts of western and southern India. Mumbai will experience generally cloudy skies with a chance of light rain. This means the moon will sometimes be hidden behind clouds, and sometimes clearly visible. People in Chennai may have to search for the moon amid partly cloudy skies and the possibility of rain. Bengaluru will also experience cloudy skies, but glimpses of the moon are expected amid rain. The situation in Pune is a bit more challenging, with thunderstorms and rain forecasted to cause persistent cloud cover.
Eastern and Central India: Mixed Prospects
The news is not good for the eastern city of Kolkata. Rain and thunderstorms are forecast here, with dense clouds likely to completely block the moon’s view. The situation in central India is mixed. Bhopal and Patna will see partly cloudy skies. However, with no rain activity expected in these cities, there is a good chance the moon will be visible once the clouds clear. Partly cloudy skies and rain are expected in Hyderabad as well, but it’s possible that the weather will clear up after sunset and the moon will be visible.
Ultimately, the festival will be celebrated amid this unique play of weather, where some will be able to easily see the moon, while others may have to chase the clouds. May the weather be on their side and everyone be able to experience this moment.
