A group of women performs the Karwa Chauth pooja together. When the pooja is performed, the eldest woman in the family narrates the story of Karwa Chauth to the other married women.

·         Karwa Chauth Thali Decoration: This is a very important constituent of the pooja. The karwa Chauth thali set can be decorated as and how one likes. The traditional designs of Alpana or rangoli are mostly done on the thali by most women.

·         Procedure: The karwa Chauth thali set gets rotated among all the married women while they are sitting around the idol of Gaura Mata. A Karva is also placed at the center as the symbol of Lord Ganesh. Various offerings like a glass of water, flowers, food grains, fruits are also placed in front of the idol. A portion of the offerings is given to the eldest woman who narrates the tale of Karwa Chauth after the pooja has completed.

 

 

After the completion of the pooja, it is time for the women to wait for the moonrise so that they can end their daylong fast by worshipping the Moon and thereby completing the rest of the rituals in the presence of their husbands.

It is believed that fasting for the entire day of Karwa Chauth, following the rituals, and worshipping the Moon at the end of it will protect the husbands from the evil eye and keep them in good health and prosperity. It also strengthens and sweetens the marital bond.
