As a symbol of selfless love, the day-long vrat gets shown in films. But not much gets shown about Sargi<\/a>. This little known tradition is also a symbol of love of a mother-in-law who sends her blessing the day before the festival.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Sargi pooja thali <\/a>is the celebration of the relationship between the wife and her mother-in-law. This meal is to sustain the wife through the vrat by giving auspicious and energizing dishes.<\/p>\n
