Chhath Puja is a prominent Hindu festival dedicated to the Sun God (Surya) and Chhathi Maiya (his consort), celebrated in India with immense devotion, primarily in the State of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. It involves a four-day ritual where devotees observe fasting, offer prayers, and perform sacred rituals at riverbanks or water bodies. Worshippers express gratitude to the Sun God for sustaining life and seek blessings for health, prosperity, and happiness. The festival is marked by purity, simplicity, and communal harmony, as families and communities come together in devotion. The iconic offerings include home made "Thekuas" and fruits, symbolizing simplicity and reverence for nature.
