The auspicious folk faith festival, Chhath Puja will begin on November 8. The four-day day festival is dedicated to Lord Surya and Chhathi Maiya and predominantly in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, and some areas of Madhya Pradesh and Nepal.

As per the Hindu calendar, Chhath Puja is celebrated from Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha and ends on Saptami Tithi. The four days of Chhath are Nahay Khay, Kharna, Chhath Puja, and Usha Arghya.

Chhath Puja is a grand affair in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. During the festival, devotees observe nirjala fast for 48 hours and offer prayers to Lord Surya. It is considered one of the most sacred festivals among Biharis around the world.

Also known, as Chhath Parv, Chhath, Chhathi, Dala Puja, Surya Shashti, and Dala Chhath, the festival devotees break their fast by cooking and eating a range of simple, home-cooked but delicious dishes like chana dal (cooked Bengal gram), arwa chawal (boiled rice), lauki sabji and saag (bottle gourd curry and greens), and gur ka kheer (rice pudding cooked in an earthen pot).

As Chhath Puja festivities have started already, here are wishes, messages, and greetings to share with your friends and families.
