jaani can I ask u a KC ritual related question?Today in the episode the ladies after doing the pooja wre doing something to their thalis and after that they start passing the thalis to each other in circle. What was that and what is it's significance.
Hi Zarmeen, here are the details of this ritual:-
The women sit around the image of Gauri or Goddess Parvati with their bayas (basket or thali full of goodies). Each woman also places a karva or a pitcher full of water and seven pieces of pua in front of her. It is adorned with kharia, aipun and a little roli. A red thread is tied around the karva. At the beginning of the puja, women apply the roli teeka to Goddess Gauri and also to themselves. With the thumb and the third finger of the right hand, water is sprinkled on the image of the goddess. The same procedure is repeated with aipun and roli . Lastly, rice is showered on the image.
An elderly woman of the family narrates the legend of Karva Chauth. The women then pray for the long life and welfare of their husbands. While chanting the prayers, they pass their thalis from one to another as if signifying pheras....
Hope I was able to answer your questions. I had to google to get exact answers. 😃
