Silver gifts for Karwa Chauth mark the evening with something lasting. A puja thaal, a hand mirror, a candle holder that glows at moonrise — each piece is handcrafted in our Delhi NCR studio, ready well before the ninth of October.
Karwa Chauth holds one of the longest fasts in the Hindu calendar — dawn to moonrise, no food, no water. The story behind it has many versions: Queen Veervati, Princess Karwa, or simply the seven sisters of folk tradition. They all share one image: the moon glimpsed through a sieve, the husband's face seen second, the first sip of water taken from a karwa held by another woman. Silver enters every layer of this — the chalni's rim, the karwa's spout, the silver piece set on the thali for luck. The metal is cool against a long fast. It reflects the moon back exactly.
A small spouted pot, traditionally clay, now often silver. The fast ends when water is poured from one karwa to another after sighting the moon through the chalni.
The moon is first viewed through the chalni, then the husband's face. The mesh dignifies the sequence — the divine glimpsed before the human.
Sent before sunrise on Karwa Chauth morning. Sweets, dry fruit, sixteen shringar items, a silver piece — a hand mirror, a photo frame, or an idol. A blessing carried in a basket.
A silver-plated puja thaal that anchors the Karwa Chauth ritual. Place flowers, offerings and a candle holder on it for the evening puja. Hand-polished in our Delhi NCR studio.
A silver-plated hand mirror from our religious collection. A meaningful shringar gift for Karwa Chauth — the moon is glimpsed, then one's own reflection. Sized to hold in one hand.
A peacock-motif candle holder in silver-plated brass. Lights the Karwa Chauth evening from the puja thaal. Hand-polished, weighted base, made to glow at moonrise.
A silver-plated photo frame from our decor collection. Gift it as part of a Karwa Chauth baya — place a cherished family photo inside. A keepsake that lasts beyond the evening.
Whether it is a candle holder for the evening puja or a hand mirror as a shringar gift, each piece is crafted to last well beyond the evening of the fast.

The pre-dawn meal sent by the mother-in-law. Mathri, feni, paratha, fruit, dry fruit, a glass of milk. The puja thaal holds it; the fast begins at first light.
Women gather for the karwa chauth katha at a saheli's home. Henna, red bangles, sixteen shringar items are laid out. Gifts are exchanged hand to hand among the group.
Ganesh and Gauri are invoked. The candle is lit on the puja thaal. The fast continues; the family sits together watching the eastern sky for the moon.
The moon is sighted and offered water. The husband's face is seen through the sieve. Water is sipped from his hand. The fast ends.
“My saas gave me her own silver piece the first year I came home. It had a small mark where her mother had once dropped it in 1962. I held that piece through every fast for twenty-three years. Last year I gave it to my son's wife.”
Wipe each silver-plated piece with a soft cotton cloth. For any wax or ghee residue, use warm water with a mild soap, rinse, pat dry with a lint-free cloth, leave on a cotton mat overnight.
Wrap each piece in acid-free tissue, then in a soft cotton bag. Add a silica sachet. Keep in a dry cupboard away from camphor and sindoor — both accelerate tarnish.
Never leave moisture on silver-plated pieces overnight. Keep silver away from rubber bands, which leave permanent black marks. Don't polish with toothpaste — it scratches detailed surfaces.
