This is celebrated on the fourth day of the month of Kartika. Married
women eat a festive breakfast consisting of Jalebis, milk and Fenis etc.
This is known as Sargi. After this they observe a fast till the fourth
day's moon becomes visible in the skies. During the fast they do not drink
water. When the moon rises the women offer Puja to it. They offer water
to it sixteen times and pray for a long life for their husband. A little
painted clay pot (Auli) is filled with rice and other things and offered
to the mother-in-law. Some unmarried girls observe a fast on this day
so that they may get a good husband.
