Celebrated mostly by married Hindu women, the Karwa Chauth festivities symbolise their love and devotion for their husbands. After observing a dry fast for the whole day, the devotees worship the Moon and break the fast upon its sighting on Karwa Chauth. Our expert, Manyyaa Adlakkha, founder of Vastu Guru Manyyaa, numerologist, astrologer and Vastu expert, shared a 7-steps guide for breaking the fast of Karwa Chauth 2024.
Mental And Emotional Preparation
Manyyaa said that it is crucial to take a moment to centre yourself before performing the fast-breaking rituals. She said, “Reflect on your feelings and intentions for the day. A few minutes of meditation or deep breathing can help you cultivate a sense of gratitude and love for your husband and the bond you share.”
Create A Festive Atmosphere
Setting the mood during festivals is essential for a good time. “Set the mood by decorating your dining area with flowers, candles, or fairy lights. A beautiful environment enhances the experience, making it feel special and celebratory. You can also play soft, romantic music in the background to elevate the ambience,” said Adlakkha.
Perform Prayers Or Rituals
Worship the Moon and consider performing a short prayer or ritual before you break the fast. The astrologer said that you should light a Diya (lamp) and offer a prayer for the well-being of your husband and family.
Look At The Moon With Your Partner
“As the moon rises, take a good look at it with love alongside your partner. Hold hands and appreciate the moment. You can recite the traditional prayer or simply express your love and gratitude for each other. This shared experience reinforces your bond,” shared Manyyaa. (Hindu Festivals Calendar October 2024)
Break The Fast After Offering Arghya
Offer Arghya of water and milk to the Moon and then ask your partner to pour a little into your hands so that you can consume it as Prasad. Then, you repeat the same with your partner. This symbolic act is considered to mean that your fast is broken.

Enjoy A Special Meal Together
Manyyaa explained that sharing a meal that you have prepared or is significant to you both, on this day fosters intimacy and joy among the couple.
Express Gratitude
Take a moment during or after the meal to express your gratitude. “Share what you appreciate about your husband and your relationship. You can even write down your thoughts in a journal, creating a keepsake that you can revisit in the future,” said Manyyaa.
Share A Sweet Treat
Manyyaa said, “Conclude the meal with a special dessert that symbolises sweetness in your relationship. Whether it’s homemade sweets or a favourite treat, this final touch adds a celebratory note and reminds you of the joy in your bond.”
Quality Time
Conclude the festive celebrations with some quality time together. (Karwa Chauth Gift Ideas 2024) You can plan something fun in advance for a cosy evening celebrating your love and marital bond.
