Women adorn their hands with mehendi for Karva Chauth. On the Karva Chauth evening, women get dressed up in their finest and come together to perform a puja. At this puja, the legend behind Karva Chauth is narrated. After this, women give gifts such as dry fruits, jewellery or clothes to their mothers-in-law. Women observing the Karva Chauth fast can only break their fast once they see the moon and perform a small puja looking at it.
