Karwa Chauth is mostly celebrated in the northern part of India and among married Hindu women around the world. During this festival, the wife fasts for a long and healthy life for her husband; the fast is broken only after sighting the moon at night.

Frustrated Agra locals have put up signboards 'renaming' their colonies: Narak Puri, Keechad Nagar, Ghinona Nagar, Badboo Vihar, Nala Sarovar and the like. According to this year's Swachh Bharat Survey, Agra is the sixth cleanest city in Uttar Pradesh.

Karwa Chauth holds special importance in the lives of married women, especially the newly wedded ones. On this day, women keep a day-long fast for their husbands and break it in the evening.

While it is celebrated mainly in North India, the festivities differ a little in every state. Here is a low down on how women observe the Karwa Chauth fast as per different rituals and traditions across several states of India.

The SP leader was involved in another controversy after young Akhilesh Yadav became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in 2012. Akhilesh surpassed Mulayam's brother Shivpal Singh Yadav and the Yadav family was divided into two feuding groups.

The veteran leader was also known for his controversial remarks. The crime of rape became a capital offence in India following the 2012 Delhi gang rape incident. Yadav has opposed this change in the law, saying that "Boys will be boys. Boys commit mistakes''.
