Karwa Chauth 2022: Foods to include in your Sargi thali

Karwa Chauth, a festival for married women, is mostly observed in the northern and western parts of the nation. Celebrating the unbreakable bond between a husband and wife, on this day, women pray for the long life of their husbands by keeping fast and offering prayers to Goddess Parvati. Karwa Chauth Sargi is one of the most important rituals of this festival and here we list the essentials that will complete the Sargi thali:

Sweets | Begining anything with a sweet is considered auspicious. Hence, a Sargi thali should mandatorily have sweets to start the fast on a positive note. Credit: Getty Images

Fruits | With ample amount of fibre and liquid, fruits will help you stay without food and water. Eating fruits during fast will keep women feeling fuller and also satiate their body's water requirements. Credit: Getty Images

Dry Fruits | Similar to sweets, nuts are considered auspicious too. They are rich in nutritional content and calories and provide sufficient energy and nutrition for those who fast throughout the day. Credit: Getty Images

Light-cooked food | Prepare light foods that are both nutritious and fulfilling at the same time as heavy foods will only make you sluggish and lethargic throughout the day. A couple of rotis, a simple sabzi and a halwa will suffice to provide enough energy for the day. Credit: Twitter/ @starrytalks

Coconut Water | Coconut water is a detox for this day, as it will not only keep you hydrated on a 'nirjala' fast but shall also keep your electrolytes balance in check. Drinking coconut water will help in boosting digestion and shall help you go on with the day without any weakness. Credit: Getty Images
