Karwa Chauth fast rituals

Karwa Chauth represents a wife’s strength and devotion to her husband. It exhibits the power of unwavering commitment, faith, and steadfast resolve. For many women, Karwa Chauth begins with a pre-dawn feast known as sargi, prepared by mothers-in-law for their daughters-in-law. 

Following this, women spend the day in a strict fast, abstaining from food and water, which concludes with a puja in the evening. Dressed in heavy ethnic clothes, they gather to recite the legendary tales of Veeravati, Karwa, and Savitri, honouring their sacrifices and unwavering love. The fast ends with the sighting of the moon, after which husbands feed their wives, symbolically breaking the fast.
