Karwa Chauth 2025 for Newlyweds: In Hindu tradition, the festival of Karwa Chauth holds significant importance. On this day, married women observe a fast for the longevity of their husbands and pray for a blissful marital life. The fast is broken only after the moon appears in the night sky. For women participating in Karwa Chauth for the first time, this experience can be somewhat challenging.
In this article, let us delve into the insights provided by Astrologer Pandit Dayanand Tripathi regarding essential tips for women who are observing Karwa Chauth for the first time.
The fast commences with the consumption of ‘sargi’, a meal taken before sunrise that is meant to sustain you throughout the day. This meal is typically provided by the mother-in-law or elder family members. It is advisable to include fruits, nuts, sweets, and light nutritious foods in your sargi. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated by drinking ample water.
Avoid Making Mistakes with Hydration During the Fast
Karwa Chauth involves a ‘Nirjala’ fast, which is one of the most challenging and revered forms of fasting. During this fast, participants must abstain from drinking even a single drop of water.
On the day of Karwa Chauth, it is crucial for married women to adorn themselves with ‘solah shringar’ (sixteen adornments). Failing to do so is considered to leave the fast incomplete.
Listen to the Fasting Story on Karwa Chauth
Women who are observing the fast for the first time should definitely listen to the fasting story. Without hearing the fasting tale, the spiritual rewards of the fast may not be attained. Therefore, be sure to listen to the story. Upon the moon’s emergence, view it through a sieve, then look at your husband’s face through the same sieve and break your fast by sipping water from his hands.
If this is your first time observing Karwa Chauth, it’s advisable to refrain from sleeping during the day. For those observing the fast, sleeping is usually considered prohibited, as it may diminish the spiritual benefits of the fast.
