Essential Items For Karwa Chauth Puja Samagri:


On Karwa Chauth, it is considered highly auspicious to include these seven essential items in the puja thali to please Goddess Karwa:



  • Picture of Goddess Karwa: As the primary deity of this day, a picture of Karwa Mata should be included in the thali for worship.

  • Sieve (Chalni): This is used by married women to view the moon during the ritual. It is an important part of the ceremony.

  • Karwa (Earthen Pot): The karwa, or earthen pot, is a crucial item in the puja. Performing the ritual without this is considered incomplete.

  • Wheat Flour Lamp (Diya): A small diya made from wheat flour is placed in the thali as it symbolises light and devotion to Goddess Karwa.

  • Copper Vessel (Lota): A copper lota is used to offer water (Arghya) to the moon during the evening rituals.

  • Sacred Materials (Suhaag Items): The thali also contains items such as fruits, flowers, sweets, water, sindoor (vermilion), kumkum, roli, chandan (sandalwood), and rice (akshat), all of which are associated with marital bliss.

  • Twig (Seenk): Symbolising the strength of the goddess, a small twig is placed in the thali to invoke her power.
