Chhath Puja 2025: Know About The Four Days
Women observe a 36-hour-long ‘nirjala’ fast, bathe in the holy river, and pray to the rising and setting sun. Worshippers, dressed in traditional attire, gather on riverbanks and offer arghya (water and offerings) to the sun, seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and family well-being.
The festival commences with Nahaye Khaye, where vrattis take a holy dip in the river Ganga and begin their fast. They consume only a single meal after preparing prasad for the Sun God, which includes pumpkin, moong-chana dal, and bottle gourd.
On the second day, devotees observe a strict day-long fast without water (from sunrise to sunset). In the evening, they break the fast with a special prasad of jaggery-based kheer, roti, and banana after offering prayers.
Considered the most intense part of the festival, vrattis begin a 36-hour Nirjala fast on day three. They offer Arghya to the setting sun and seek blessings for health, prosperity, and well-being of the family.
On the final day, known as Paran Din, devotees once again offer Usha Arghya to the rising sun before dawn. They offer prayers to Lord Surya, seek blessings from elders and family members and complete their 36-hour fast with the sacred Prasad.
