To celebrate the festival, married women observe fast and pray for the safety and long life of their husbands. The women are not even allowed to take water during the day. The fast is over only after the sight of the moon. Women first look at the moon and then their husbands’ face through a sieve to break the fast. Once all the rituals are done, the husbands feed their wives with food.
