Karwa Chauth is an auspicious and beautiful festival celebrated by many married women across the country. It is observed by fasting for the long and healthy lives of their husbands. The ritual traditionally starts with the consumption of ‘Sargi’ – a meal consisting of delightful sweets and snacks consumed before sunrise on the morning of Karwa Chauth.
