On this day, Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva are worshipped. In addition, after observing the fast for the entire day, the fast is broken in the evening after seeing the moon and offering Arghya.
The Chaturthi Tithi of Karva Chauth will begin at 02:03 pm on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, and will end at 02:58 pm on Thursday, October 13, 2022. Keeping the Karva Chauth fast on October 13th would thus be auspicious.
Karwa Chauth Fasting Dos And Don’ts:
1. Married women should apply Mehendi/henna and perform solah shringar before participating in the Karwa Chauth Puja and Katha rituals. Wear traditional clothes (preferably in red), mangalsutra, nose pin, bindi, bangles, earrings, and other accessories a day before the festival – it is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and a happy married life.
2. Sargi is a thali with various food items and gifts given to married women by their mother-in-law. Sargi is an important ritual of Karak Chaturthi that should not be missed. The food in the Sargi thali should be eaten as the pre-dawn meal before beginning the fast. In general, the thali is designed to provide all of the necessary nutrients and energy. Pheni, meethi seviyan, fruits, coconut, meethi mathri, dry fruits, sweets, paratha, and juice are all included.
3. Avoid breaking the fast with fried foods, which can cause stomach upset, loose motions, gastric irritability, or bloating. Furthermore, according to ritual, one should end their vrat by drinking a few drops of water. Then you can consume coconut water, dry fruits, healthy snacks, or low-fat dishes.
