What is Sargi?

The Karwa Chauth fast begins with Sargi, a ritual meal consumed early in the morning during Brahma Muhurta (pre-dawn hours). Traditionally, the mother-in-law gives Sargi to her daughter-in-law before sunrise. According to religious texts, this ritual was initiated by Goddess Parvati and forms an important part of the Karwa Chauth fasting tradition.
