New Delhi: Karva Chauth is a significant festival celebrated across North India. It is a day when married women pray and fast for their husband's long life and well-being. Women only eat or drink after presenting Arghya to the Moon with an earthen pot called as Karva, making it one of the most difficult fasts.

Karwa Chauth: A brief history 

Women pray to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati during Karva Chauth. In Hindu legend, Veeravati, a queen, visited her brothers on Karva Chauth. She began to feel a bit dizzy as the hours passed and anxiously awaited the Moon to break her fast. Veeravati's brothers tried to deceive her into breaking her fast after realising how unwell she was. She broke her fast after spotting a Moon-like object in the sky. Sadly, as soon as she did, she learned of her husband's demise.

Veeravati made a commitment to keep a fast every month with complete dedication after learning about the technique. She also prayed to the Gods and eventually got her spouse back.

Karwa Chauth 2022: What is the list of items that go in a Sargi?

 

The sargi thali contains energetic foods that assist the woman get over the rigours of the fast. Along with the meal, symbols of love and care such as sindoor, sarees, etc. are also offered.

There are many items in the sargi thali that are considered mandatory. Here is a list of things that a sargi thali should contain:

1. Fresh fruits: Fresh fruit contains a lot of water. Eating a lot of fresh fruits will help make up for the lack of water during the Karva Chauth vrat, which is nirjala, or without water. Pomegranates and citrus fruits together might help the body retain more water.

2. Dry fruits: Festivities never fail to include dry fruits. They have a revitalising quality that can keep the body going for extended periods of time. The women would benefit from having cashews, almonds, raisins, and pistachios in the thali.

3. Cooked food: When fasting, simply prepared meals may go a long way. The prepared foods that have to be a part of the Sargi thali include mathris, a couple of rotis, sabji, or halwa. These dishes keep them fuller for longer while not being too heavy to cause indigestion.

4. Sweets: Beginning the fast with something delicious provides the energy and mental clarity needed to last the entire day. In several regions, including Sevvainyaan as a sweet in the Sargi thali is seen as obligatory. Kheer and other sweet foods may also be offered.
