Karwa Chauth has approached, and many couples are celebrating it. Being celebrated nationwide each year, it comes with with great fanfare and extravagance.
Karwa Chauth honours a couple’s love and is particularly celebrated by married women. Karwa Chauth is celebrated with great fanfare in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana. Married women observe a fast from sunrise to moonrise on this day. They break their fast only when they see the moon in the sky and accept food and water from their husbands. During Karwa Chauth, married women offer prayers to Lord Shiva for their husbands’ long lives.
To keep their bahus healthy and energised during the fast, mothers-in-law make a Sargi Thaal for them before the fast starts. Thus, it’s a significant ritual. But it’s important to add nutritious foods to your Sargi Thaal. Foods that are high in water content and that can supply the body with vital nutrients should be included in the pre-fast meal. You should include whole grains, fruits, milk, protein, and fibre on your sargi thali.
