Importance of Chhath Puja and Why It Is Celebrated?

Chhath Puja is a four-day festival dedicated to the worship of the Sun God, and it will be celebrated from October 25 to 28 this year. There are some rituals that every Bihari person follows: Nahay-Khay on the Chaturthi Tithi of Kartik Shukla Paksha, Kharna on Panchami, Chhath Puja on Sashti, and the concluding Usha Arghya on Saptami.

During Chhath, devotees observe a fast and offer their sincerest prayers to the rising and setting sun, expressing their gratitude for their life and everybody’s life on earth. The festival holds immense significance in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Nepal and is celebrated with equal fervour by diaspora communities worldwide.
