About Karva Chauth Puja
Karva Chauth is observed by married women on Kartik Krishna Chaturthi, mainly in North India. The day is kept as a nirjala fast from sunrise, and in the evening women gather for the puja of Goddess Gauri, Lord Shiva and the family of Shiva, with the karva, a small earthen pot, at the centre of the worship.

- A diya (or a small lamp), incense and a few fresh flowers
