Karwa Chauth is a sacred day when married women observe a nirjala fast (without food or water) for the long life, good health, and prosperity of their husbands. Women worship Karwa Mata and pray for happiness and harmony in married life. One of the most significant rituals of this day is the Sargi, a pre-dawn meal that marks the beginning of the fast. Thi year Karwa Chauth Vrat will be celebrated on Friday, October 10, 2025.
What is Sargi and Its Significance?
Sargi is not just a meal but a symbol of love and blessings shared between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. Traditionally, the mother-in-law prepares and gifts the Sargi Thali, filled with nourishing and auspicious items that help sustain energy throughout the day. Consuming Sargi before sunrise ensures that the fasting woman remains strong and spiritually balanced during the day-long fast.
The practice also reflects the bond between generations, where the mother-in-law blesses her daughter-in-law for a happy, prosperous, and long married life.
