About Chhath Puja

13–16 November 2026

Chhath Puja (Surya Shashthi) is among India’s most rigorous household festivals. Devotees keep strict purity, stand in water for arghya at sunset and sunrise, and thank Surya and Chhathi Maiya for life, health, and progeny. The four-day arc—Nahay Khay, Kharna, Sandhya Arghya, Usha Arghya—asks more of body and mind than most fasts. Community ghats fill with bamboo soops, sugarcane, and thekua as families keep night vigil together. Madhuma’s festival essentials support readiness with lamps, incense, and clean puja ware—so your focus stays on the arghya, not last-minute shopping.
