3) Adorn Solah Sringar: Apply mehendi and don traditional attire and jewellery, symbolizing luck, prosperity, and wedded happiness.

4) Savor Sargi: Consume a pre-dawn meal rich in nutrients, provided by the mother-in-law, comprising fruits, sweets, paratha, and more.

5) Hydrate Well: Drink ample water and fresh fruit juices; steer clear of coffee and tea to prevent acidity.

6) Exercise Caution: Avoid scissors, needles, or knives; pregnant women should abstain from fasting for their well-being.

7) Exchange Blessings: Send Baya gifts to mothers-in-law, seeking blessings, and refrain from consuming non-vegetarian food.

8) Participate in Rituals: Engage in Karwa Chauth puja, listen to Katha, and maintain a positive, joyful demeanour.
