Pro Tip: Ek din pehle (9 Oct ko) saari cheezein ek jagah rakh lo—subah sargi aur shaam puja dono me kaam aayega!

Step 1: Sargi (Subah Sunrise Se Pehle Khana)

Samay: Sunrise se pehle (10 Oct ko lagbhag 6:00-6:15 AM tak)

Sargi Kya Hoti Hai?

Sargi wo khana hai jo suhaginn mahilayein Karwa Chauth ke din sooraj nikalne se pehle khati hain—iske baad pura din paani aur khana band. Traditionally, saas apni bahu ko sargi deti hai (blessings ke saath), lekin agar saas na ho to koi bhi badi lady (mother, bua, badi behen) de sakti hai.

Sargi Me Kya Hota Hai?

• Fruits: Seb, kela, angoor—energy ke liye
• Dry fruits: Badam, kaju, kishmish—nutrition
• Sevaiyan/halwa/mathri: Traditional sweet dishes
• Paratha/puri: Pet bharne ke liye
• Doodh/juice: Hydration ke liye
• Mithai: Laddo, barfi—blessings ka symbol

Sargi Kaise Khaye?

1. Subah jaldi uthein (5:30-6:00 AM)—fresh feel ke liye
2. Hath-muh dhokar taiyaar ho jayein
3. Saas ya elder se sargi prapt karein aur ashirwad lein
4. Thandiyon prayer bolo—”Main apne pati ki lambi umar aur sukhi jeevan ke liye yeh vrat rakh rahi hoon”
5. Shanti se sargi khayein—jaldi-jaldi nahi, properly chaba-chaba ke
6. Sunrise se pehle finish kar lein—iske baad paani tak nahi peena hai!

Important: Sargi me zyada meetha aur zyada namak avoid karein—din bhar thirst badhti hai. Light aur nutritious khana best hai.

Step 2: Din Bhar Vrat (Nirjala Upvas)

Samay: Sunrise se lekar moonrise tak (lagbhag 6:20 AM se 8:13 PM—Delhi time)

Nirjala Vrat Ka Matlab?

Nirjala = Bina paani ka vrat. Iska matlab pura din kuch bhi nahi khana-peena—na paani, na kuch aur. Yeh Karwa Chauth vrat ki khaas baat hai.

Din Bhar Kya Karein?

• Rest zyada karein: Heavy kaam avoid karein—energy bachani hai
• Bhajans sunein: Devotional songs mind ko shaant rakhte hain
• Katha ki tayyari: Karwa Chauth katha ka path yaad kar lein ya print kar lein
• Family time: Ghar ke kaam light tareeke se karein—zyada thakawat avoid
• Shaam ki tayyari start: 4-5 PM se puja ki samagri tayyar karna shuru kar dein

Medical Precaution (Zaroori Hai!)

Health Issues Hai To Dhyan Rakhein:
– BP/diabetes: Agar low BP, diabetes, pregnancy ya koi serious health issue hai to doctor se pehle consult kar lein—force karke vrat dangerous ho sakta hai
– Chakkar aaye to: Turant leit jayein aur family ko batayein—health pehli priority hai
– Pehli baar vrat: Agar pehli baar kar rahe ho to thoda paani pee sakte ho medical emergency me—bhagwan intent dekhte hain, strictness nahi

Step 3: Shaam Ki Tayyari (4-5 PM Se Shuru Karein)

Samay: Shaam 4:00-5:00 PM tak

Kya Karein?

1) Nahana Aur Saaf Kapde Pehenna

• Achhe se nahayein—mann aur shareer dono shudh ho jate hain
• Kapdon ka rang: Lal, gulabi, peela, hara, kesariya—koi bhi auspicious color; white/black avoid karein
• Traditional wear prefer: Saree, suit, lehenga—jo comfortable ho

2) Solah Shringar (Optional Lekin Achha Hai)

Mata Gauri ki puja karni hai to khud ko bhi shringar karna accha rehta hai—16 items:

1. Sindoor
2. Bindi
3. Kajal
4. Mehndi
5. Chura/bangles
6. Nath (nose ring)
7. Bichiya (toe ring)
8. Payal (anklet)
9. Earrings
10. Mangalsutra
11. Ring
12. Kamarband (optional)
13. Flowers in hair
14. Perfume/ittar
15. Lipstick/lip color
16. Nail color (optional)

Note: Puri list follow karna zaroori nahi—jo comfortable ho wo pehno, lekin sindoor, bindi, bangles, mangalsutra to hona hi chahiye.

3) Puja Thali Sajana

• Ek clean thali lein—uske beech me lal kapda bichayein
• Saari puja samagri arrange karein: roli, chawal, diya, phool, dhoop, karwa, chunri
• Karwe me gehu ke daane aur sikka dal dein
• Ek alag choti thali me mithai/prasad rakhein

Step 4: Puja Muhurat Me Pooja Karein (5:57-7:10 PM)

Shubh Muhurat (10 Oct 2025): Shaam 5:57 PM se 7:11 PM tak—is time me puja zaroor complete kar lein!

📿 Karwa Chauth Ke Mukhya Mantra

1) Vrat Sankalp Mantra (Puja shuru karte waqt):

ॐ मम सुखसौभाग्यप्राप्ति पौत्रादिसुस्थिरश्रीप्राप्तये

💡 Tip: Mantras ko 3, 7 या 11 baar dohraye—zyada spiritual energy milti hai. Agar mantras yaad na ho to simple prayer से bhi kaam chal jayega—bhagwan bhavna dekhte hain!

Step 5: Karwa Chauth Ki Katha Sunna (Zaroori Hai!)

Kab: Puja ke turant baad—shaam 6:30-7:30 PM ke beech

Katha Ki Importance

Karwa Chauth vrat incomplete mana jata hai agar katha nahi suni. Katha me us suhaginn ki kahani hai jisne apne pati ko mrityu se bachaya tha—yeh story vrat ki shakti aur suhag ki mahima batati hai.

Katha Kaise Sunein?

• Family/Relatives ke saath: Ek elderly lady (saas, bua, dadi) katha padhe aur sab sunein—traditional tarika
• YouTube/Audio: Agar akele ho to YouTube par “Karwa Chauth Katha 2025” search karke sun sakte ho
• Print copy: Katha ki book/printout padh sakte ho—dhyan se padho, jaldi-jaldi nahi
• Duration: 10-15 minutes ki hoti hai—pura focus karke sunein

Katha Ka Summary (2 Mukhya Kahaniyan)

1) Veeravati Ki Kahani: Ek suhaginn apne bhai ki galti se jaldi chand dekh kar vrat todti hai—uska pati mar jata hai. Phir wo Mata Parvati ki kripa se apne pati ko wapas jeevan daan paati hai.

2) Karwa Aur Uske Saheliyon Ki Kahani: Karwa nadi me magarmachch se apne pati ko bachati hai—sachcha prem aur vrat ki shakti dikhata hai.

Note: Katha sunne ke baad 2-3 minute meditation karein—mann me prayer karein ki “Mera vrat safal ho.”

Step 6: Chand Dekhna Aur Arghya Dena

Kab: Moonrise time par—10 Oct ko aapke city me (Delhi 8:13 PM, Mumbai 8:55 PM, etc.)

Step-by-Step Chand Dekh Kar Pooja

1. Moonrise Ka Wait Karein:
   – Apne city ka exact moonrise time check kar lein (Article 2 me list hai)
   – Terrace/balcony/khuli jagah par jayein—clear sky view chahiye
   – 5 minute pehle se ready rahein—chaalni, karwa, pati sab saath
2. Pati Ko Pehle Dekhein:
   – Chaalni (sieve) ko ankh ke saamne pakdo
   – Chaalni se apne pati ko dekho—unko pranaam karo
   – Yeh tradition hai—pati ko devta mana jata hai
3. Chaalni Se Chand Dekhein:
   – Ab same chaalni se chand ko dekho
   – Slowly-slowly, jaldi nahi—dhyan se chand ko nihaarein
   – Prayer: “Chandra dev, mere pati ki lambi umar ke liye aapko naman”
4. Karwe Se Jal Ka Arghya Dein:
   – Karwe me pehle se jal bhara hona chahiye
   – Karwe ko dono haath me pakdo
   – Chand ki taraf karwa utha kar slowly jal giraao (3-4 baar)
   – Mantra bolo: “ॐ श्रां श्रीं श्रौं सः चन्द्रमसे नमः” (Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandramase Namah)
   – Ya simple bolo: “Chandra dev ko jal arpan”
5. Wish/Prayer Karein:
   – Mann me apni wish rakho—pati ki lambi umar, sukhi jeevan, santaan sukh
   – “Mata Gauri, mera suhag sada salamat rahe” bolo
6. Pati Ko Chand Dikhana:
   – Ab pati ko chaalni se chand dikhaao
   – Prayer: “Aapki umar lambi ho, hamesha swasth rahein”

Important Notes

• Chand nahi dikhe to? Cloudy weather me 15-20 min wait karein—agar bilkul nahi dikhe to approximate moonrise time ke baad maan lo ki chand nikal chuka hai aur puja kar lo. Bhagwan bhavna dekhte hain!
• Thoda wait karna padega: Moonrise time ke turant baad chand bahut low rehta hai—2-3 min wait karo, clear dikhega
• Photos optional: Arghya dete waqt photo click kar sakte ho—lekin pehle puja complete karo, phir photos

Step 7: Parana (Vrat Todna)

Kab: Chand ko arghya dene ke turant baad—moonrise time + 2-3 minutes

Parana Ki Sahi Vidhi

1. Pati Se Pehla Paani Peeyein:
   – Apne pati ke haath se pehla ghunt paani piye
   – Yeh sabse important step hai—vrat ki completion ka pratik
   – Slowly peeyein, ek-do sip enough hai pehle
2. Pati Aapko Khana Khilayein:
   – Traditional tareeke me pati pehla khana (thoda sa) khilaate hain
   – Kuch cheeni, mishri ya meetha prasad—symbolic hai
3. Light Food Se Shuruat Karein:
   – Fruits: seb, kela—digestible
   – Juice: coconut water, fruit juice—hydration
   – Light snacks: biscuit, dry fruits
   – Heavy food turant mat khao! Pura din khali pet ke baad suddenly heavy khana stomach upset kar sakta hai
4. 30-45 Min Baad Proper Meal:
   – Ab normal khana kha sakte ho—roti, sabzi, daal
   – Dhire-dhire khao, jaldi-jaldi nahi
   – Zyada tel-masala wala avoid karein pehle meal me
5. Pati Ko Ashirwad Lein:
   – Unke pair chhuo aur unse ashirwad lo—traditional
   – Prayer: “Aap hamesha mere saath rahein, sukhi jeevan ho”
6. Prasad Baantein:
   – Puja me jo prasad chadhaya tha wo family me baantein
   – Neighbours/relatives ko bhi de sakte ho—good gesture
