On this day, married women observe a nirjala vrat and don't even drink water the whole day. In the evening, Karwa Chauth Puja is performed. After sighting the moon, water is offered to Moon God from an earthen pot. Following the moon rise, through a sieve, women look at the moon and then at their husband's faces.
