Puja vidhi (brief)

1. Before sunrise (in Brahma Muhurat), bathe and eat the sargi given by your mother-in-law — pheni, sweets, fruit, dry fruits, mathri — and drink water. After sargi no food or water is taken all day.
2. Take the sankalp: 'I keep the waterless Karwa Chauth vrat for my husband's long life and good fortune.'
3. During the day do the solah shringar — red/pink saree or lehenga, mehndi, bangles, bindi, sindoor, mangalsutra, anklets, toe-rings.
4. In the evening set up the Karwa Chauth calendar/picture (Gauri, Ganesha, the Moon, the karwa) on a wall or wooden seat at the puja place. Fill an earthen or copper karwa with water, place rice and sugar on its lid, draw a swastik on it and tie mauli.
5. Prepare the thali — diya, roli, akshat, flowers, sweets, fruit, suhag items, a straw (seenk) to place in the karwa, and a sieve.
6. After sunset, in Pradosh Kaal, the married women of the family or neighbourhood sit together, listen to the Karwa Chauth katha and pass the thalis around in a circle (pheri), singing 'Veero kudiye karwada…' or 'Karwa Chauth Mata ki jai'.
7. Worship Ganesha, Shiva-Parvati and the Moon; keep the karwa water aside to offer to the Moon.
8. At moonrise (time shown above) go to the terrace or courtyard, look at the moon through the sieve, then at your husband's face through the same sieve. Offer arghya to the moon from the copper/earthen karwa and show the diya.
