Karwa Chauth 2024: The festival of Karwa Chauth is celebrated today, on Sunday, October 20, 2024. This festival holds great significance, especially for married women. Like all other festivals, Karwa Chauth also has some special traditions and rules that need to be followed.

The Karwa Chauth fast begins with eating Sargi in the early morning. In many places, especially in North India, there is a tradition of making Kadhi on this day. After breaking the fast at night, Kadhi is considered an essential part of the meal along with other dishes.

From A Religious Perspective, Making Kadhi Is Considered Auspicious

Kadhi, made from gram flour or besan, is a very popular and delicious dish in India and is cooked and enjoyed in different states across the country. It usually includes fritters. But do you know why Kadhi is specifically made on Karwa Chauth? Let’s find out—

In Hinduism, the color yellow is considered highly auspicious. That's why yellow is used extensively during fasts and festivals, including yellow offerings, clothes, fruits, flowers, and food. Consuming yellow-colored dishes is also regarded as beneficial. For this reason, making Kadhi on Karwa Chauth is considered auspicious.

It Is Associated With Lord Krishna

It is said that Lord Shri Krishna loved items like milk, yogurt, butter, and sugar. Additionally, he favored dishes made from these ingredients. It is believed that his favourite meal was kadhi and rice. Hence, during the worship of Lord Krishna, kadhi and rice are offered as prasad. This simple, delicious, and nutritious meal holds great significance.
