On the eve of Karvachauth, today, Dogra women will be fasting today. Beating hunger and thirst, they will pray for longevity of their beloved husbands. Each year women follow the custom but only a few men repay it by observing the fast themselves.
This article is for those looking for other ways to please the wives. Here is a list of things husbands can do to please their wives today:
Long drive: A long drive on Jammu-Katra highway. Sidhara road or Jammu-Pathankot highway is suggested. If not possible, a stroll in Bagh-E-Bahu, Green Belt Park, in Rajinder Park or along Ranbir Canal at Akhnoor Road would do.
