Here is a small guide for you to celebrate this magnificent day.
Decked Like A Bride
Your first Karwa Chauth celebration should be a bride’s celebration. Traditionally, the color theme for women is red, maroon, or pink saree or lehenga for the first Karwa Chauth. The look would be complete with a bit of sindoor, bindi, bangles, and mehendi. When paired with traditional jewelry and bridal make-up, it should create a magical charm on your celebration, making it even more special.
To Start A Fast Sargi
Sargi normally consists of a heavy and lavish meal, which the mother-in-law gives to the bride sometime before dawn to open up her fast. This delicious food usually consists of dry fruits and sweets that their richness would help sustain any bride on energy throughout the whole day without food or water. It, too, is an emotional experience, the whole Karwa Chauth blessing bathed in tears of joy, to witness Sargi being given to you.
For The Length Of The Fast
Whole day, do not drink a single drop of water, and yes, definitely consider praying! A whole lot of merriment and rituals await you in the afternoon, maybe read a few stories or bhajans about Karwa Chauth, or just relax until evening. The story of Karwa Chauth is most significant, for it is said that complete faith in listening to it will complete your fast.
Puja And Karwa Rituals That Evening
All married women come together for puja, telling the story of Karwa Chauth, and gifting clay pots (karwas) to one another after sundown. From time immemorial, rituals have been cherished among the ladies of the family and friends, further enriching the bonds of companionship and love that accompany traditional practices.
Hour Of Moonrise: A Fantasy
At night, those awaited moments come alive as the wife looks at the moon through a sieve and turns to the husband. Water and sweets are poured into the wife’s mouth by the husband, helping her break her fast. This moment of love and emotion will forever be etched into a memory, especially for your first Karwa Chauth.
The first Karwa Chauth is not only fasting but is also living the love, promises, and indelible memories. It is celebrated in faith, in beautiful attire, in the company of family lifetime memory.
