Karwa Chauth comes on the fourth day after ‘Purnima’ in the month of Kartika. The Karva Chauth fast, primarily observed by married women, is considered extremely crucial, according to the Hindu faith. The Nirjala fast is observed for the long life of husbands. The wives eat nothing for the entire day. The fast is broken after worshipping the God of Moon for matrimonial bliss. This year, the festival of Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on Sunday, October 24.
The tradition of Sargi before starting the Karva Chauth fast is well known in India. This sargi is eaten before sunrise and the women then do not eat or drink for the following day.
So it becomes highly important to include some special and energetic food items in your sargi plate.
