Karwa Chauth is one of those beautiful traditions where wives fast for their husbands, symbolizing love, devotion, and longevity. Typically, it’s all about glamming up, fasting, and that sweet moment of breaking the fast by looking at your partner through a sieve. But what if your partner is miles away? Long-distance Karwa Chauth can feel a bit disheartening, but with a sprinkle of creativity, you can still celebrate it in style and feel connected despite the distance. Here’s how to keep the Karwa Chauth vibes alive, even if you’re apart.
Gifts, because who doesn’t love surprises?
Nothing screams love more than a thoughtful present, especially when you can’t be together. Curate a cute gift box or hamper, or maybe pick something personalized. It could be something sentimental or practical – think along the lines of a cozy outfit, a meaningful keepsake, or even a new book they’ve been eyeing. It’s all about making them feel special.
Video call FTW
Thank the tech gods for video calls! Keep that connection alive by spending the day virtually together. Whether it’s while she’s prepping for the day, getting dressed, or performing rituals, stay on call and make her feel like you’re there every step of the way. A virtual hangout can make a world of difference, and who says you can’t break the fast together via FaceTime?
Designer Karwa Chauth thali
Since you can’t be there physically, send her a stunning Karwa Chauth thali. You can easily find designer sets online complete with all the essentials – from the channi (sieve) to the diya and sweets. It’s a chic way to show that you’re thinking of her while she’s doing the puja.
Shower her with compliments
Don’t just rely on gifts; words are just as powerful. Take a moment to let her know how much you appreciate her. Compliment her efforts, acknowledge her love, and throw in some sweet, heartfelt words to make her day even more special. A little appreciation goes a long way!
Deliver food and win her heart
Fasting all day is no easy task, so spoil her by ordering her favorite food. She probably spends all her time cooking for others, so why not treat her to a delicious meal and give her a break from the kitchen?
Surprising spa sessions
Karwa Chauth rituals can be exhausting. Treat her to a relaxing spa day. It’s a thoughtful way to help her unwind, de-stress, and enjoy some “me-time” while pampering herself.
