The festival is dedicated to the Sun God i.e. Surya Dev 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 devotional Chhath song shows how the rituals are performed during the four-day long festival.
