What Is Karwa Chauth?

The observance begins early in the morning with sargi, a pre-dawn meal prepared by the mother-in-law, which women eat before sunrise. Following this, they fast for the entire day without food or water as a symbol of love and commitment.

In the evening, women dress in traditional clothes and gather for a special prayer ceremony, during which they share folk stories about Veeravati, Karwa, and Savitri. Once the moon rises, they perform a ritual that involves looking at the moon through a sieve, praying, and then breaking their fast with water or food given by their husbands.
