Rules for observing Karva Chauth fast for the first time

- Red-colored clothes- Wearing red-colored clothes on the day of Karva Chauth is considered very auspicious. Women who are going to observe this fast for the first time should wear a wedding dress. However, any other dress of red color can also be worn. But don’t wear black, brown or white clothes.

Rules For Unmarried Girls On Karva Chauth
In the Hindu religion, there is a provision of fasting Karva Chauth for unmarried girls too, but its rules are quite different. In this case, the unmarried girls who observe Karva Chauth fast, should take care of the following things-
- Do not observe Nirjala fast- According to the rules and customs, married women break this fast by taking water from the hands of their husbands, so unmarried girls should not keep Nirjala fast. Apart from this, there is no rule to prepare Sargi (food prepared by mother-in-law) so, for unmarried girls, Nirjala fasting is not considered appropriate.
- Do not worship the moon- The custom of worshiping the moon is only for married women, so unmarried girls should not worship the moon. In such a situation, the question arises: which god should be worshiped then? So the answer is that on the day of Karva Chauth, unmarried women should worship Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva.
- Do not break the fast by offering arghya to the Moon- There is no rule for unmarried girls to break the fast after offering arghya to the Moon as this rule is applicable only to married women. Unmarried girls can break the fast after worshiping Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva at the time of the moonrise.
- Do not watch the moon with the Strainer- Unmarried girls should not watch the moon with the strainer on the karva chauth day because this ritual is only for married women.
