Celebrate Karwa Chauth With The Best Authentic Indian Foods

This auspicious occasion of Karwa Chauth has finally arrived and all married women are geared up to fast for the long life of their beloved husbands.

 

It is also a celebration of love, marriage, and the unbreakable bond shared between a husband and wife. This festival brings peace, happiness, and joy to married life.

Did you know how Karva Chauth starts on the day of the festival?

 

 

It begins with a small early morning prayer of women and is usually followed by “Sargi” – a pre-dawn meal food platter containing dry fruits, parathas, curry, and coconut water.

 

After Sargi women then fast throughout the day, until moonrise. Sargi plays a major role in this celebration. It has to be a healthy and energetic meal so that women can keep their fast until moonrise.

 

It is interesting to know that women during the moonrise see the moon through a sieve and then catch a glimpse of their husbands through the same sieve. It is also believed that when a wife looks at her husband through a sieve, all negative emotions are filtered through it.

 

Once done, the women can eat something and their fast is completed.

 

So Karwa Chauth calls for special food that would make your vrat all the more special.
