I read all the solutions and tried everything for 2 days but I'm stuck at the black screen after the grub window. Even tty is also not opening. I really wanna use this OS but I'm unable to.
Hi there, welcome!
Let's begin from the beginning.
Please provide from the live USB the output of inxi -Faz as text, formatted with 3 ~ before and after the text block.

I know it’s been frustrating, but it could help to have a summary of what you tried.
e.g.
- in the BIOS, make sure that SATA mode is AHCI, secure and fast boot are disabled
- installation booting the ISO with free drivers?
- did you try Garuda boot repair from the live USB?
Thanks for understanding.
I have disabled the secure and fast boot and SATA MODE is also set to AHCI.
I tried installing with the nvidia drivers as well as free drivers , I tried both the ways.
Tty is also not working so I tried chroot but that also doesn't seems to work for me.
I tried boot repair in esp buy it's giving error that unable to find canonical path.
Please help me out with this.
I think you should try following the manual GRUB installation with this tutorial.
It includes more details to check your partitions, EFI mode, etc.

I tried this so many times but that's also not working for me.
this is the output which I am getting after doing these steps and updating grub:

Nothing to do. Abort.

done~~~I don't see real errors there. The linux image is found, sdb should be your USB, so no prob, and at the end no snapshots are found, also no prob.
For me the problem is in the grub installation, not the update.
We should check that part.
Include also the output of
lsblk -f
and
parted -l | grep -iE "^Disk /|esp" | grep -B1 esp
here is the output of grub installation from the above suggested method.
sh-5.1# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck

Please, have a look at it and help me.
There is a problem in the partitioning of sda.
Only sdb (the USB) is recognized as ESP. No ESP partition for sda.
Maybe because you have sda2 mounted as /boot and sda3 as boot/efi. Or maybe sda2 is also boot/efi. But none is esp.
In my opinion you should remove sda3 and format sda2 as esp partition.
Then repeat the chroot peocess, grub installation, etc.
Please have a look at these images and tell me where I'm getting it wrong!
Sorry I'm not at home to check on the system and it's hard to check picture on the run.
You don't need to reinstall, just use gparted, possibly, which can set the ESP flag to the new partition replacing sda2.
I think also KDE partition manager has this possibility if you don't have gparted.
sda1 and sda3 if this is swap can stay as is.
Another thing I can see is that the installer is trying to create a MBR, so you're probably in legacy mode, but you'd better set your BIOS in EFI mode.
