How to Offer Prayers
If misunderstandings plague a marriage, offer prayers to the moon with a mix of white flowers in water. For deepened love, use white sandalwood and yellow flowers. To promote health and remove obstacles in married life, the couple should offer prayers together, mixing a small amount of milk and rice in water. For resolving distances created due to career or other reasons, offer water using a conch shell with a hint of perfume.
It is worth noting that today, many married women have observed a fast for the longevity and health of their husbands nationwide. This fast is predominantly celebrated in North India, and it is believed that fasting without water grants the husband a long life. During the evening, after the moon is sighted, women view the moon's reflection through a sieve to break their fast by drinking water from their husbands' hands, wishing for their prolonged life.
The rituals commonly include prayers to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Gauri, and the Moon. The Moon is traditionally considered a bearer of age, happiness, and peace. Thus, by worshipping the Moon, women wish for a harmonious married life and their husband's long life, eagerly awaiting its appearance. Let's explore the approximate times the moon is expected to appear across Delhi-NCR and other regions.
