Do’s and Don’ts for Karwa Chauth
Do’s:
Wear bright and auspicious colours like red, pink, or yellow, symbolizing love and prosperity.
Don’ts:
Avoid wearing black or white, as these are considered inauspicious.
Refrain from using scissors, needles, or knives, as sharp objects are believed to reduce the spiritual benefits of fasting.
Do not donate white-coloured items such as rice, milk, or curd, since they resemble the moon and are not considered suitable for giving away on this day.
