Abhishek Sharma Karwa Chauth fan moment
As India is observing Karwa Chauth, women are keeping waterless fasts for their husbands for their marital bliss and longevity. One Karwa Chauth moment steals the spotlight as one of cricketer Abhishek Sharma's female fans performed the Karwa Chauth ritual by seeing his photo on the mobile screen. She also performed the ritual of seeing the moon and also saw the photo of Abhishek Sharma through a sieve and performed arghya. However, this fan appears to have added a cricket-inspired twist to the age-old tradition by including Abhishek Sharma in her celebrations.
Arghya comes from a Sanskrit word that commonly refers to a traditional respectful offering of water. Traditionally, it is offered to the moon on Karwa Chauth, mixed with grains, flowers, dry rice and other sacred substances.

While Karwa Chauth celebrations often feature women looking at the moon through a sieve before breaking their fast, the fan’s decision to offer arghya to Abhishek Sharma’s photograph has given the traditional ritual an unexpected twist.
