The auspicious occasion of Karwa Chauth

 

This differs from the other tyohars that we celebrate with our families. The spirituality of this celebration symbolises the love you share for one another as a couple. Who'd have guessed that a single-family custom might bring you closer to your in-laws? Every emotion has its tyohar in Indian culture. The Karwa Chauth has to be the largest in terms of spreading love.

If you're a woman reading this, you know how you feel at the end of every Karwa Chauth. When the moon rises and he feeds you water and you become teary-eyed. Nobody can deny how emotionally charged events like Karwa Chauth are.

 

But you know what's better than a Karwa Chauth pitch that's been meticulously decorated? It's when you've mastered the art of being a hands-on wife. When your partner sees the personal touches you added to the party, he'll be overjoyed. What better way to start than with your thaali?

 

Get imaginative and include all of your feelings for your man. If you want, you can embellish it with fabric. Make a thaali that is uniquely yours. Dress your Karwa (the pitcher) as if it were you. Make your channi (sieve) appear to be as beautiful as the moon.

 

Decorate them with jaari stickers or little lace designs. Add personalised touches to your diyas to go down to the slightest elements if you wish. Paint the mud diyas with biodegradable paint. Give your thaali all of your affection. Put down a piece of food that you both enjoy to show your devotion to your man. Allow him a bite as well. Get creative and spend some time with the women as we all have a full day to spend doing nothing and fasting all day. Get all of your married pals, as well as your mother-in-law, to put their creative heads together. Make sure your Karwa Chauth Pooja thaali is ready for your final prayers before you start adorning your own hands with the lovely henna.
