1. The colour red is associated with the Karwa Chauth festival because it is fortunate and is worn by ladies in the festivities. Married women can, however, also wear other hues, such as orange, pink, green, and yellow. They should stay away from white or black tints, though.
2. Another significant ritual of Karva Chauth Puja is the application of mehendi on the hands and the performance of solah sringar. A day prior to Karak Chaturthi, married ladies should henna their hands and dress traditionally—preferably in red—wearing bindis, nose pins, mangalsutras, bangles, earrings, rings, and more. The mehendi and sringar represent wealth, good fortune, and a happily married life.
3. Another significant Karwa Chauth vrat rite is sargi. It's a special thali that includes presents and various food items that married women get from their mother-in-law. Before beginning the fast, the sargi should be eaten as a pre-dawn meal. Generally speaking, the thali is prepared such that it can supply all the energy and minerals required. Pheni, meethi seviyan, fruits, coconut, meethi mathri, dried fruits, candies, paratha, and juice are all included.
4. The pre-dawn meal should include tems rich in protein and carbs as they take longer to digest and will keep you full longer.
5. Prior to the start of the fast, consume as much water as you can. Fatigue and headaches can both be made worse by dehydration. Another excellent addition to your liquid intake is fresh fruit juice. In the meanwhile, abstain from tea and coffee to avoid becoming acidic.
6. women observing the Karwa Chauth vrat should not use scissors, needles or knives.
