The festival holds immense cultural and emotional significance, as it symbolises a wife's devotion and love for her husband. On this day, women fast from sunrise to moonrise, refraining from food and water, while praying for the long life and well-being of their husbands. The rituals of Karwa Chauth are deeply rooted in tradition and have been passed down through generations.

Karwa Chauth begins with women waking up before dawn to partake in a pre-dawn meal known as "Sargi," prepared by their mothers-in-law. This meal is considered essential for sustaining the women throughout the day of fasting. Following the Sargi, women dress in their finest clothes, often donning beautiful sarees and intricate jewellery, to prepare for the evening rituals. As the sun sets, they gather in groups, sharing stories, songs, and laughter, fostering a sense of community and bonding among them.

As the moon rises, women perform a special prayer ritual called 'puja,' where they offer water and sweets to the moon, seeking its blessings for their husbands' health and happiness. They then look at their husband's face through a sieve and offer him water and food to break their fast. This act signifies the end of the day-long fast and represents the deep connection between husband and wife. The rituals are often accompanied by cultural festivities, including singing traditional songs and dancing, adding a festive spirit to the occasion.

In contemporary times, Karwa Chauth has evolved beyond its traditional roots. While the core rituals remain intact, many women now also emphasise the importance of self-care and personal wellbeing, making it a day for celebrating their own strength and identity. Social media has also played a significant role in popularising the festival, with women sharing their experiences and celebrations online. Ultimately, Karva Chauth is a heartfelt celebration of love, devotion, and the bonds of marriage, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of India. Wishing everyone Happy Karva Chauth 2024!
