Sargi ritual
This day begins before sunrise with sargi, a pre-dreaded food that was traditionally prepared by the mother-in-law for her daughter-in-law. This includes fruits, dried fruits, sweets and parathas which give women strength to inspect the nirjala fast (without water or food) throughout the day.
According to Hindu scriptures, this tradition withdraws Goddess Parvati, who started Sargi as a blessing for marital bliss.
Karva Chauth and Shankin Chaturthi
Interestingly, Karva Chauth matches with Shanti Chaturthi, which is a fast dedicated to Lord Ganesha. While Karva Chauth is mainly celebrated by married women in North India, devotees in Maharashtra and in the southern states worship Lord Ganesha’s Vakratunda form on this day.
