Karwa Chauth 2020: 5 Indian Desserts You Can Prepare To Treat Yourself Post Vrat
Karwa Chauth Recipes: End your fast with these drool-worthy Indian desserts.
One of the biggest festivals in northern India, Karwa Chauth, is right here. After the festivities of Navratri, Dussehra and Sharad Purnima, we are all set to celebrate Karwa Chauth on 4th November, 2020 with much fervour. On this day, many married Indian women observe nirjala fast (without food and water) from sunrise to moonrise. The festival traditionally celebrates a wife’s devotion towards her husband wherein she observes the fast to pray for his long life. The festival is not just about fasting. Married women start preparing days before the day, from picking a traditional outfit to applying mehendi and dressing up to their best; the festive spirit of Karwa Chauth is at an all-time high on the day!
But more than anything, it is the time after the fast ends that is perhaps the most special one, when women end their fast and eat with their husbands to their heart’s content! While one can prepare as many vegetarian dishes as they want to for the dinner, a hearty meal would definitely need a sweet ending on the special occasion. We’ve got some of the best Indian sweets and dessert recipes that you can make on Karwa Chauth to relish post-dinner!
