How to do Karva Chauth Puja

Women start their day by observing a fast from sunrise to moonrise. The fast is broken by drinking water after seeing the moon at night.

Eating sargi, or the pre-dawn meal, is how the day begins. On Karwa Chauth, ladies who are fasting consume a meal known as sargi first thing in the morning. Married women receive sargi from their in-laws' moms. It comes with a Karva (also known as an Earthen Pot), a sweet treat, dry fruits, and feni. Jewelry and a saree are also included.

Women who observe fast get up before dawn, get ready, and gather supplies from the sargi. They only eat at this hour of the day. They are not even permitted to drink water during the day after sunrise.

Women congregate in the evening to perform the puja and listen to the Karwa Chauth Katha. A glimpse of the moon is taken through the Channi at night which is when their fast is broken.
