Kartik Chhath Puja 2024
Kartik Chhath Puja 2024
Chhath puja is an important festival in Hinduism that is observed for the worship of the sun god Surya and his sister or maternal aunt Chhathi Maiya. This festival is mostly observed in Indian states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh as well as parts of Nepal. This is a four-day celebration that progresses with each day accompanied by different rituals and offerings. Each day has its own importance:
Nahay Khay (November 5):��The first day – A day of cleansing and purifying rituals.
Lohanda and Kharna (November 6): Fasting and offering preparation by the observers.
Sandhya Arghya (November 7): Devotees offer prayers to the sun in the west.
Usha Arghya and Parana (November 8): All the morning final offerings to the sun of the daybreak are completed and then the fasting commences.
On Day 1 of Chhath Puja, called Nahay Khay (Bathing and Eating)
The first day of Chhath Puja is referred to as Nahay Khay, which means 'Bathing and Eating'. This is the day when all the devotees join in this festival and start by cleaning themselves and everything around them to get rid of all impurities. This day initiates the worship and devotion of Chhath Maiya the Sun Goddess and Surya Dev or the Sun God.
Important Customs and Rituals:
Sacred Bathing: The devotees observe this sacred ritual bath in any natural body of water most especially in rivers to signify baptism and purification.
Succeeding Description of Food Department Activities: The devotee’s houses are then scrupulously cleaned and simple vegetarian food with no or very few condiments, garlic or onion is prepared to keep all the offered food clean.
First Meal: The usual family meal includes mainly rice, chana dal, and pumpkin curry. This meal is the one that commences the fast of the worshippers.
Nahay Khay is accompanied by the ideas of cleansing and determination which creates the need for a pure structure to the days of fasting and praying that follow.

Chhath Puja, an ancient Hindu festival dedicated to the Sun God (Surya), holds a special place in the hearts of millions. Celebrated primarily in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, this four-day festival is marked by devotees offering prayers to the Sun God and his consort, Chhathi Maiya, seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and well-being. Chhath Puja is also observed in parts of Nepal and other regions with strong cultural connections to northern India. In 2024, Chhath Puja will be observed from November 6th to November 9th, with the main day, known as Surya Shashthi, falling on November 8th.
Origins of Chhath Puja
The origins of Chhath Puja are steeped in mythology and tradition. One prominent story is associated with Ramayana, where Lord Rama and Sita, after returning from their 14-year exile, performed Chhath Puja to express gratitude to the Sun God. Another legend connects the festival to Mahabharata, where Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, performed the ritual to overcome obstacles and hardships.
Historically, Chhath Puja is believed to have originated from the early Vedic period. People during this time worshipped natural forces, especially the Sun God, for sustenance and well-being. The festival is a tribute to the life-giving force of the Sun, symbolizing the power of nature in sustaining life on Earth.
Rituals of Chhath Puja
Chhath Puja is known for its strict rituals and fasts, which are meticulously followed by devotees over four days. The fasting during this period is rigorous, with devotees often going without water, especially on the final day. The festival revolves around offering prayers and Arghya (water) to the rising and setting sun, symbolizing gratitude for life and creation.
Day 1 - Nahay Khay: The first day begins with the cleansing of the body and surroundings. Devotees take a holy bath in a river or water body and prepare traditional meals, which are offered to deities and shared among family members.
Day 2 - Lohanda and Kharna: On the second day, devotees observe a fast from sunrise to sunset. In the evening, they break their fast by consuming kheer (a sweet rice dish), chapati, and fruits. This meal is later offered to family members and neighbors.
Day 3 - Sandhya Arghya (Evening Offering): This is the most significant day of Chhath Puja. Devotees, dressed in new clothes, gather by the riverbank or water body to offer Arghya to the setting sun. Traditional folk songs and prayers dedicated to Surya Dev are sung, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere. Women, especially mothers, pray for the well-being of their children and family.
Day 4 - Usha Arghya (Morning Offering): On the final day, devotees offer prayers to the rising sun. After the morning rituals, the fast is broken by consuming prasad (sacred food). This marks the end of the Chhath Puja festivities.
Traditions Associated with Chhath Puja
Chhath Puja is more than a religious observance; it reflects the deep cultural and social values of the regions where it is celebrated. The simplicity and purity of the rituals signify the harmony between nature and mankind. Some of the key traditions include:
Veneration of Chhathi Maiya: In addition to the Sun God, Chhathi Maiya, considered the goddess of fertility and children, is worshipped for her blessings.
Environmental Awareness: Chhath Puja promotes environmental consciousness as devotees perform rituals in natural water bodies, emphasizing the need to preserve nature.
Unity and Community: The festival brings families and communities together, with devotees gathering at riverbanks and sharing the joys of the celebration.
Importance of Fasting and Discipline
One of the most striking aspects of Chhath Puja is the dedication and discipline exhibited by devotees. Fasting is seen as an act of purification, cleansing the mind, body, and soul. The rigorous nature of the fast reflects the belief that the more one sacrifices, the more blessings they will receive from the Sun God.
Chhath Puja 2024 Dates
For the year 2024, the Chhath Puja dates are as follows:
Nahay Khay: November 6th
Lohanda and Kharna: November 7th
Sandhya Arghya: November 8th
Usha Arghya: November 9th
Devotees will observe the sunrise and sunset timings closely during these days, as these are the most crucial moments for offering prayers to the Sun God.
Conclusion
Chhath Puja, with its rich heritage of stories, rituals, and traditions, continues to be a vibrant celebration of faith, community, and nature. As we approach this auspicious time, it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with spiritual roots and seek divine blessings for the year ahead.
