Karwa Chauth Fasting: The 'Yes Or No' Guide To Your Daily Matcha And 5 Favourite Drinks

Women in the northern parts of India will be celebrating the holy festival of Karwa Chauth in a few days. This holy day is celebrated by Hindu women to bring prosperity to their husbands’ lives. For this pious day, women observe a nirjala vrat or a fast where they don’t consume any food or drink water. It is believed that by keeping this day-long fast, women pray to give their husbands a longer, healthier life. Since women need to observe this fast from morning till moonrise, you need to ensure that you stay hydrated. Before you start your fast, you need to hydrate your body properly during Sargi, the pre-fast meal. Here’s a list of your favourite drinks and whether you should drink them during Sargi or not.

Drinks For Karwa Chauth Sargi 2025

For observing a Karwa Chauth fast, you need to keep your body hydrated during Sargi to avoid dehydration later in the day. Here is a list of your favourite drinks and whether they are a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ for Karwa Chauth Fasting this 2025.

Matcha - NO

As much as you love your daily matcha, it's absolutely not recommended to drink during Karwa Chauth Sargi. We all love the taste and the kick we get after drinking matcha because of its caffeine presence. While this caffeine gives us energy, it can also dehydrate us throughout the day, which is not ideal for fasting at all.

Buttermilk (Chaas) - YES

Drinking buttermilk (Chaas) is an excellent option for women who are going to observe a Karwa Chauth fast. It even has cooling properties and is packed with probiotics for gut health. Having buttermilk will also help to prevent acidity and bloating during your fast.

Tea - NO

Say goodbye to your morning tea for Karwa Chauth. Drinking tea is not recommended at all during Sargi, as it can make you dehydrated. It can even cause acidity when consumed on an empty stomach.
