Chhath Puja is mainly celebrated in Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and in parts of Nepal. Chhath Puja is believed to be the only Vedic Festival dedicated to Surya (the Sun God) and Goddess Usha, seeking bounties of life on earth from them and requesting the granting of certain wishes. Also, devotees thank the god and goddess for their blessings.  The Sun God’s wife Usha is also called Chhathi Maiya and many devotional songs and geet in Bhojpuri, Magahi and Maithili are attributed to her.

This year, the Uttar Pradesh government has issued an advisory for Chhath Puja, urging devotees to perform the rituals at their homes or near their homes, as much as possible in the wake of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, the Delhi government banned Chhath Puja celebrations at public places like ponds and riverbanks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
