Celebrate Karwa Chauth with Your Better Half on Train with YatriRestro

Karwa Chauth is a traditional festival celebrated in India, especially in states like Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. Now, it is celebrated almost all over India. It is a fasting ritual where married women observe strict fasting rules from sunrise to moonrise for the long life, health, and well-being of their husbands. Some husbands also observe the fast alongside their wives to show their love and commitment. Unmarried women often participate in the ritual by praying for a good husband.

Key Rituals & Traditions of Karwa Chauth 

1. Eat Sargi before sunrise: Women eat Sargi, a pre-dawn meal traditionally given by their mother-in-law. 
2. All-day fasting: They fast without food or water from sunrise until moonrise. 
3. Karwa Chauth Puja: Women dress in traditional clothes and gather for a puja, where the story of Karwa Chauth is told. 
4. Breaking the fast: At moonrise, women look at the moon through a sieve, then at their husbands through the same sieve, and their husbands offer them water to break the fast. 

During train journeys, women often use video calls or phone calls to perform these rituals with their husbands and break the fast together virtually. 

Challenges for Women Traveling on Train During Karwa Chauth 

Women face several challenges when traveling during Karwa Chauth, including: 

1. Physical fatigue from fasting during travel: Fasting without food or water all day is difficult, especially when already tired from traveling. Limited space to rest on trains makes conserving energy even harder. 
2. Difficulty arranging fresh & clean Sargi: Finding clean, fresh food for Sargi (pre-dawn meal) is tough. Most train stations or pantry services don’t cater to such specific fasting needs. 
3. Maintaining personal hygiene and cleanliness: It’s important to stay hygienic to perform evening puja and moon sighting rituals, but train restrooms are often unhygienic. 
4. Spoilage of fasting-friendly foods: Light fasting foods are difficult to carry on long journeys as they may spoil due to lack of refrigeration, risking food poisoning. 
5. Emotional disconnection from family: Karwa Chauth is a deeply personal ritual usually celebrated with family and spouse. Being away can make women feel isolated or disconnected.
