Karwa Chauth puja samagri list
27 things to set out for Karwa Chauth. The first 6 are pictured here; the whole list, pictured, with what each is for and a list that ticks off, is in the Kalava app.
A clay karwaWith a spout and a lid, from the potter: the ਕਰੂਆ, in Punjabi homes. Two if you keep the day alone — the second is for Gauri Maa.
A sieveA chhalni, to look at the moon and then at your husband through; a small diya is set in it at moonrise. In Punjabi homes, where the family holds one before the eyes.
Gauri Maa: a picture or the calendarThe printed Karwa Chauth calendar with Gauri and Chauth Mata; or yellow earth to shape a Gauri; or clay murtis of Shiv ji, Parvati Maa, Ganesh ji and Kartikeya ji.
A red saree or suitRed, pink, yellow or maroon — never black or white. In Punjabi homes, a bride in her first year wears her wedding dress.
Sindoor, bindi and banglesFor your own shringar: red glass bangles, in Punjabi homes.
The shringar for Gauri MaaA red chunri, and the suhag things placed before Gauri Maa: sindoor, bindi, bangles, mehndi and a comb.
