As women across north and north-western India were soaked in festive spirit and celebrated Karva Chauth, Dwarka was not far behind either. Women from several societies, such as New Millenium Apartments, Manchahat Apartments, Ekta Apartments, Radhika Apartments, Lovely Home Apartments, Pragyajyotishpur Apartments, dressed up in chic ethnic wear and observed the day together for the longevity and safety of their husbands.
