It’s an ode to love, devotion and togetherness, a day of fasting from sunrise to moonrise, when women pray for the longevity and prosperity of their husbands. From the predawn Sargi meal to breaking the fast after moonrise, with family and friends around, the day is filled with rituals. While you manage the traditions of the day and the demands of modern life, here are a few smart appliances to help you make the most of the occasion by letting you focus on what matters the most.
These five home appliances can silently take over your chores and allow you to multitask throughout the day, so you can enjoy Karwa Chauth.
1. A Smart LED TV
After all, Karwa Chauth is as much a celebration of the family as it is of the fast. No better way to end a day of prayer than to relax, to laugh and to enjoy the company of those around. Once the rituals are done, a movie or even perhaps a live telecast of Karwa Chauth celebrations from other parts of the country is a surefire way to enjoy the evening.
A Smart LED TV can really be a great way for the whole family to sit together and watch a movie or some religious video and spend some good quality family time after a long day of work. You won’t have to struggle with a million remotes, either – many Smart TVs these days have voice control so you can use your hands for something else while you flip the channels.
2. A Modern Washing Machine
Karwa Chauth is a day for decking up in your best traditional wear – whether it is a saree, a lehenga or something else that has special meaning for you. Your clothes need to be freshly laundered and clean. However, when you have a full day of work, making time for laundry or festive preparations can feel like a luxury.
You know what a real blessing a Washing Machine with a quick wash setting is? If you forgot to do the washing last evening or need to refresh a few last-minute garments, then a quick cycle can have your outfit ready in a jiffy. Not only that, modern machines are built to take care of your delicate fabrics, so you need not be worried about your festive clothes. You just need to fill it up, load the setting, and the machine will do the rest of the work, while you focus on the rest of the day’s preparations.
3. A Microwave Oven
The meal you eat with your family in the morning (called Sargi) gives you the energy to make it through the day’s fast, but it’s tough to make a well-balanced healthy meal first thing in the morning when you’re short on time. And then, by the time the fast is broken in the evening, you want to serve your family a delicious meal without spending hours cooking.
A Microwave Oven makes both the sahur and puja meals easier to cook ahead of time. Whether it is for the traditional breakfast food like rotis, curries and deserts, or baking something special for the evening meal, you can finish all your cooking faster with a microwave having multiple cooking options. You can also use it for quick reheating or grilling, so you can focus on enjoying the food instead of worrying over the stove.
It is not so much that you are cooking fast. It is that everything is ready when you are, without all the extra stress.
4. A Spacious Refrigerator
This means some preparation for Karwa Chauth, and that’s largely to do with food. The fresh fruit and dairy for Sargi. The meal that awaits the fast-breaking. Your fridge becomes the soldier doing the heavy lifting.
A Cooling Refrigerator with a massive storage enables you to store fruits, sweets, snacks and a variety of foods in one place so that you can easily grab them throughout the day. Freshness is assured as the refrigerator has efficient cooling which helps keep things fresh for the entire day. Frost-free function and smart compartments are also essential features of modern refrigerators. These smart compartments help you get organized and access items easier, so that at no time you are forced to rummage around the fridge looking for ingredients to complement your preparation. It is a silent companion that keeps your day’s meals hassle-free.
5. A Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Others can tell you about fasting and rituals at Karwa Chauth, but there is one more important thing. When you are at home, you must make your home as appealing as possible. You have guests and relatives coming over, and you want your home to be clean. But, at the same time, you don’t want to waste the whole day cleaning the house.
A Robot Vacuum Cleaner can do this for you. It has a clever map memory that allows it to wend its way quietly around your home and suck up all the dust and crumbs on the floor, without you having to lift a finger. You can even set it to do the job while you’re doing something else, so your home stays clean right through the day. That’s the low-impact way to do this stuff, so you can focus on the things that really matter.
Conclusion
A day for love, devotion and family, regardless of religious beliefs, Karwa Chauth is marked by the celebration and rituals of fasting, but also by the myriad of other little tasks – from the preparation of meals to tidying of the house – that often go hand-in-hand with special celebrations. With the right appliances, these tasks are made easier (allowing you to enjoy the true essence of the day).
These five accouterments work their magic behind the scenes; they enable you to go about your daily life without drawing attention to themselves. You’re the star of the show, not them. They just do their job so you can focus on the glory and the splendor of Karwa Chauth.
