After doing the puja and listening to karva chauth vrat katha, women wait for the moon to rise. After moonrise, women see the moon through a sieve and then see their husbands through a sieve. The husband then feeds water and sweets to the wife and breaks her fast. These days husbands too have started fasting for their wives for their health and happiness.
