About Chhath Puja 2017

This year Chhath is being celebrated from October 24- 27. The devotees offer ‘arghya’ to the setting sun and the rising sun in succession on the last two days of the puja.

The first day marks the ritual of ‘Nahai-Khai’ in which devotees prepare traditional food after bathing. The second day is called ‘Kharna’, during which devotees observe a day-long fast which ends with sunset. They then cook ‘kheer’ and roti on earthen chullahs, which is then distributed as ‘prasad’. On the third day, the devotees stand in water and offer ‘Arghya’ to the setting sun. On the final day of the puja, they converge at river banks before sunrise and offer ‘Arghya’ to the rising sun in wicker baskets.
