The four-day Chhath Puja festival begins this Saturday, with PM Modi inviting people to share traditional songs honoring the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. This ancient Hindu celebration, primarily observed in Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern UP, involves rigorous fasting, water ceremonies, and ritualistic offerings. Devotees follow four distinct phases—Nahai Khai, Kharna, Sandhya Arghya, and Usha Arghya—to express gratitude and seek blessings for prosperity and wellbeing.
