Ways to decorate the Puja Thali
Generally, decorated plates are available in the market. However, if you want to decorate the Puja Thali at home, then first of all take a large plate in which all the items can be set.
If you have paint color, then you can paint a flower, beautiful artwork or Om etc. on the plate. If you do not have color, then mix turmeric in rice flour solution and make Swastika or Om on the plate.
Decorate the plate with flower petals leaving the Swastika part. Spread the flower petals on the plate. You can use marigold or rose flowers for this.
Now set the items required for Karva Chauth Puja one by one on the plate. Keep all the things as per the need in a circular manner. You can also draw or paint Swastika on the water pot or any other utensil that you are keeping on the plate.
If you want, you can glue the Gota Patti on the edge of the plate in a circular manner. This also looks attractive.
