A tambram friend of mine told me the other day that they have something almost exactly similar to the north indian Karva Chauth. It's Karadaiyan Nonbu, a very important festival in Tamilnadu. Women fast the whole day without any food or water for the welfare of their husbands. The only difference she said is that instead of seeing the moon before breaking the fast (as in karvachauth), they break the fast according to the time of some particular star, which sometimes could be even waaay past midnight.

PS: just fyi!

This is the Vata Savitri Vrata observed in different parts of India to commemorate Savitri's immense devotion to her husband Satyavan who gets a fresh lease of life from Lord Yama who was impressed by Savitri's devotion to her husband. Observed as Vata Savitri Pournima or Vata Savitri Amavasya in the Soli-Lunar month of Jyesta.
