Karvachauth

Today is Karvachauth and I'm fasting. This fast is kept by the married women for the well being of their husbands and the unmarried girls who have been engaged also keep it if they desire.

So on the eve of Karvachauth, we put mehendi. Every year I've managed to go to a nearby place and get it done from the professionals. This year I couldn't manage to do that so I did it at home itself. Rita Bhabhi got me a mehendi cone when she had gone to get her mehendi done.

Betu also gets small motifs done whenever I go for my mehendi. He calls them tattoo :D

Here is the pic of him making a sun motif on my right hand.

Can you see the motif on the back of his left hand?

The sun motif that Betu drew but after I did some modifications to it.

The motif that I made on my left hand.

    I have a LOT of issues with this festival so, no comments on the whole fasting thing!

    But, Betu is so cute and the Mehndi is very pretty too :)

  9. sooo beautiful!! (both mehandi and your son's attention while drawing it!)
    I find the whole concept of karwa chauth to be lovely(though I know many find it regressive these days).
    Have a wonderful day :-)

  12. Happy KaryaChauth!!
    I have learnt the importance of this festival through friends ... in Karnataka, we celebrate Gowri pooja a day before Ganesh Chaturthi. The purpose of this pooja is same as KarvaChauth :)
