Method of offering Arghya to the Moon on Sakat Chauth

On Sakat Chauth, after the moonrise in the night, the first offering of Roli, sandalwood, honey, flowers, milk and water should be offered to the moon. Keep in mind that while offering arghya to the moon, splashes of water should not fall on the feet. Open your fast after offering Arghya.

The fast of Sakat Chauth is considered successful and complete only after offering Arghya to Drama. This brings good luck and the child gets the blessings of longevity. On the other hand, in astrology, the moon has been called the factor of the mind. In such a situation, by offering Arghya to the moon, the negative thoughts coming into the mind go away and the moon defect in the horoscope also goes away.
