What to Do with the Karwa after the Puja: Karwa Chauth is a sacred festival for Hindu women. On this day, married women observe a waterless fast from sunrise until the moonlight sighting, praying for their husbands' long life and a happy married life. Following this, in the evening, Karwa Mata is worshipped with rituals, and the fast is broken by offering water to the moon with a clay pot and receiving water from the husband's hands.

The Karwa holds great significance in the Karwa Chauth puja. The most common question regarding the rituals associated with it is what to do with it after the puja. People often leave it anywhere after use or throw it away, which is considered inauspicious. Throwing the Karwa around can displease Karwa Mata. Therefore, it is essential to properly immerse the Karwa after the puja.
What should be done with the Karwa after the Karwa Chauth puja?
Immersion in a River or Pond
According to belief, after completing the Karva puja, it is considered most auspicious to immerse it in a holy river or a clean water body. Ensure that the Karva is not broken or damaged. While immersing the Karva, remember Goddess Gauri and the Moon God.
Place it under a sacred tree.
If there is no river or pond near your home, you can place the Karva under a sacred tree such as the Peepal, Banyan, Neem, or Mango. This also brings auspicious results and the blessings of the Goddess.
Keep it safe for the next year.
Many women save the Karva used in the puja until the next Karva Chauth. But be sure to keep it in a clean and safe place in the house so that it does not get dusty or dirty. You can use it again in the puja next time.
Karva Chauth is not just a fast but a symbol of the unbreakable love between husband and wife. Therefore, the items related to the puja, especially the Karva, should be kept with proper rituals.
