Key Traditions and Dietary Tips for Observing Karwa Chauth Fasting
Karwa Chauth is a traditional Hindu festival where married women fast from dawn until moonrise, often beginning with a pre-dawn meal called Sargi. Customs vary by family and region, with Sargi typically prepared by the mother-in-law and including energy-rich foods like fruits, nuts, and complex carbohydrates. Dietitians advise choosing balanced, nutrient-dense foods to maintain energy and hydration during the fast. Participants are encouraged to understand their family's specific rituals and consult health professionals if needed.
