Chhath Mahaparv 2024

India is a land of festivals where each festival is celebrated with sheer enthusiasm and devotion. One of the most important festivals, which is celebrated just after a week of Diwali, is Chhath Puja. The festival occurs on the Kartika Shukla Shashti, which is the sixth day of the month of Kartika, according to the Hindu calendar. The four-day-long festival is of great significance and celebrated with great fervour & enthusiasm primarily in the states of North India i.e. Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal. Devotees mark the festival by observing fast and offering prayers to the god of light, energy and life force i.e. Sun God and his wife Usha, also known as Chhathi Maiya. It is believed that worshipping the sun offers longevity, positivity, prosperity and well-being.
