As Chhath Puja 2025 approaches, millions across India are preparing to celebrate this ancient festival dedicated to the Sun God. This four-day observance, marked by rigorous fasting and sacred rituals, represents one of the most significant festivals in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Why Chhath Puja Holds Special Meaning
Chhath Puja stands apart from other Hindu festivals through its unique practices and profound spiritual significance. Unlike many celebrations, this festival involves direct worship of the Sun God, expressing gratitude for sustaining life on Earth. The rituals include holy dips in water bodies, rigorous fasting, and offering prayers to the rising and setting sun.
