What is Karwa Chauth?
Karwa Chauth is a traditional Hindu festival celebrated by married women, primarily in Northern and Western India. The festival is dedicated to the well-being, longevity, and prosperity of their husbands. It falls on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik, according to the Hindu lunar calendar.
Significance and Traditions:
- Fasting: The central ritual of Karwa Chauth is the day-long fast observed by married women from sunrise to moonrise. The fast is rigorous, with women abstaining from food and water throughout the day.
- Sargi: Before dawn, women consume a pre-dawn meal known as ‘Sargi’, given by their mothers-in-law. This meal is crucial as it provides the necessary energy to sustain the fast.
- Puja and Rituals: In the evening, women gather to perform a group puja (prayer), where they listen to the Karwa Chauth Katha (story) and pass around a ceremonial plate (Thali). This ritual symbolizes the collective spirit and support among women.
- Moonrise Ceremony: After sighting the moon, women break their fast. They view the moon through a sieve, then look at their husbands through the same sieve. The husbands offer the first sip of water and the first bite of food to their wives, marking the end of the fast.
