This Puja is observed especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal. The Sun God is worshipped with great fanfare on this day; people thank him for all the blessings in life and request that their special wishes come true. The special occasion is dedicated to Chath Maiya, the sister of Lord Sun and the sixth form of Devi Prakriti. In the Hindu calendar, it is celebrated as the sixth day of the lunar month of Kartikeya, six days after Deepavali.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2042 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Chhath Puja\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chhat-Puja.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The four-day ceremonies start with holy bathing, fasting, and water abstinence, standing in the water and offering Prasad and arghya to the rising and setting sun.
