Today on Friday, married people across the country observed Karva Chauth fast. After Sargi, women will observe Nirjala fast till moonrise. When the moon rises, the fast is broken only by drinking water from the husband’s hands after worshiping the moon and offering Arghya.
The fast of Karva Chauth is considered incomplete without seeing and worshiping the moon. But sometimes such a problem arises that the moon rises but due to rain or bad weather, it gets hidden in the clouds and seeing the moon becomes rare.
If for some reason women are not able to see the moon on Karva Chauth, then what should be done in such a situation. How to perform Karva Chauth puja and how to offer Arghya to the moon. Don’t take tension, know here how to break the fast if there is no moon darshan?
If due to some reason, you are not able to see the moon on Karwa Chauth, then at the time of moonrise (Karwa Chauth Moon Rising), offer water to the moon god and perform the ritual worship. You can also worship and break the fast by seeing the moon sitting on the head of Lord Shiva.
Breaking the fast of Karva Chauth by offering Arghya to the Moon is the most important part of this festival. This is also a solution that can be used if the moon is not visible. You can also worship the moon by making a moon shape using rice or pure flour on a platform.
If for some reason the moon is not visible in the sky, then you can ask your relatives who live at another place and if the moon is visible there, then you can worship the moon by asking for a picture of the moon or even through video call. This beautiful combination of tradition and modernity is also valid.
