How to give ardhya –
If husband and wife have needless fights often, then pour lots of white flowers in water and give ardhya. If the love between husband and wife is decreasing, then add white sandalwood and yellow flowers in water and offer ardhya. If the marital life is being interrupted due to the health of the husband or wife, then the husband and wife should offer arghya to moon together, add a little milk and akshat in water. If there is distance between husband and wife due to job or any other reason in life, then offer water to the moon from the conch shell (shankh). Put itra (ittar) in water and offer ardhya.
Special Mantra of Karva Chauth
There is also a special mantra of Karva Chauth which is recited during the moon sighting at night. This mantra is – “Saumyarupa Mahabhaga Mantraraj Dwijottam, Mama purvakrutam papam aushadhish kshamaswa me.” (”सौम्यरूप महाभाग मंत्रराज द्विजोत्तम, मम पूर्वकृतं पापं औषधीश क्षमस्व मे।”) Which means, Soothing the mind, exalted among the Brahmins with kind nature, Lord of all mantras and medicines, please forgive the sins committed by me in past lives.
