Karwa Chauth is a special occasion for newly-wedded brides and brides-to-be, symbolizing love, devotion, and togetherness. This year it is falling on 20th October, Saturday. Here’s a quick guide to help you prepare for your first fast:

Understand the Rituals

Familiarize yourself with the traditions, including sargi (pre-dawn meal) and breaking the fast after seeing the moon. Consult family elders for guidance.

Plan Your Sargi

Eat nutritious foods that will keep you energized throughout the day. Include dry fruits, fruits, and hydrating beverages in your pre-dawn meal.

Choose the Perfect Outfit

Opt for a traditional saree or lehenga in festive colours like red, maroon, or orange. Don’t forget the bridal jewellery, bangles, and sindoor.

Get Your Mehendi Done

Applying mehendi is a key part of Karwa Chauth. Schedule your henna session a day or two before the festival for the perfect stain.

Prepare for Pooja

Arrange the pooja thali with a diya, sieve, and other essentials. Decorate it beautifully with flowers and vermillion for the evening ritual.

Pamper Yourself

Take time to relax before the day, whether it’s a skincare session or just resting. It’s important to stay hydrated before the fast begins. Drink plenty of water during your sargi and keep coconut water or juice handy for post-fast hydration. A calm and refreshed mind makes the fast more manageable.

Stay Connected with Your Partner

Share the significance of the fast with your partner and celebrate the bond of love by exchanging gifts or heartfelt gestures.

Embrace the festivities and enjoy your first Karwa Chauth with joy and love!
