KARWA CHAUTH CELEBRATIONS: 


A few days before Karwa Chauth, married women would buy new Karvas (spherical clay pots) -- 7"-9" in diameter and 2-3 litres capacity, decorating them with paint outside. They would make beautiful designs on it. The pots would be filled with items such as bangles, ribbons, homemade candy and sweets, make-up stuff, and small clothes as well.


On the festival day, women would then visit each other and exchange these Karvas too.


Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Karwa Chauth!
