The ritual of offering water to the moon during Kajari Teej is similar to that observed during Karwa Chauth. The ceremonies begin in the evening with the ceremonial worship of Shiva and Parvati. Following this, devotees listen to the story of Kajari Teej.
After the moonrise today, women will take a silver ring or a few grains of wheat in hand and offer water to the moon. This sacred act, known as Chandra Darshan, is observed with great devotion. Offerings are then made to the moon, and the ritual is completed by circumambulating the worship area four times. This marks the conclusion of the fast and the rituals of Kajari Teej.
