Karva Chauth 2026 is on **Thursday 29 October**, with moonrise at about 8:17 PM in New Delhi. In 2027 it falls on **Monday 18 or Tuesday 19 October**, because calendars differ (checked 2026-10-20). Many married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, so ads for jewellery, beauty, outfits and gifts should peak in the ten days before, with delivery promises that beat the date. If you read this after 29 October 2026, plan for 2027.

## The dates

| Year | Date | New Delhi moonrise |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Thursday 29 October | About 8:12 to 8:17 PM |
| 2027 | Monday 18 October (Drik Panchang) or Tuesday 19 October (Vedpanchang, Daanyam) | 8:23 PM on the 19th (Vedpanchang) |

Moonrise differs by city, sometimes by an hour or more, so check local times before you name one in an ad.

## A countdown plan for 2026

| When | What to run |
|---|---|
| 19 to 22 October | Gift guides, new collections, mehndi and salon bookings |
| 23 to 26 October | Main push: jewellery, sarees, beauty and gifts, with delivery-by dates |
| 27 October | Last delivery dates, store offers, local pickup |
| 28 and 29 October | Same-day delivery, evening reminders, greetings before moonrise |
| After | [Dhanteras](/campaigns/dhanteras-ad-ideas) on Friday 6 November, then Diwali on Sunday 8 November |

Dhanteras 2026 is Friday 6 November per [Dekho Panchang](https://dekhopanchang.com/en/festivals/dhanteras). For 2027, move every date back to match 18 or 19 October.

Work back from delivery. Say you want parcels in hand by Wednesday 28 October and shipping takes four days. Your last order is Saturday 24 October (28 minus 4). Stop "arrives in time" ads on that day.

## Angles that fit

- **Gift from him:** a gift guide for husbands, by budget
- **Dress for the evening:** sarees, suits and light jewellery
- **Hands and hair:** mehndi, makeup and salon slots
- **Sargi and sweets:** gift baskets for sargi, the pre-dawn meal a mother-in-law gives in Punjab ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karva_Chauth))

## Ideas by category

| Category | Idea |
|---|---|
| Jewellery | Light pieces with prices on each card |
| Ethnic wear | A ready-to-wear outfit set with a delivery date |
| Beauty and salons | Booking slots on the morning of the fast |
| Gifts | A bouquet, a box, a note, delivered before moonrise |
| Restaurants | A moonrise-time dinner booking |

## Mistakes to avoid

- One moonrise time for the whole country
- Promises of "before moonrise" delivery outside the cities you can serve
- Only addressing the husband as the buyer. Many women buy for themselves
- Starting on the 28th, when the delivery window is already closed

Keep the tone warm and personal, not loud. For more copy ideas, see [festive sale offer copy templates](/templates/festive-sale-offer-copy-templates). For jewellery brands, the next big season is [wedding season](/campaigns/wedding-season-ad-ideas).
