A few days before Karwa Chauth, married women would buy new karvas (spherical clay pots) -- 7"-9" in diameter and 2-3 litres capacity, decorating them with paint outside. They would make beautiful designs on it. The pots would be filled with items such as bangles, ribbons, home-made candy and sweets, make-up stuff, and small clothes as well.

On the festival day, women would then visit each other and exchange these karvas too. So, celebrate the festival of Karwa Chauth with much love and fervour.
