Chhath Puja: A Festival of Faith, Nature and Devotion
One of the most revered festivals in India, especially in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and parts of Nepal, Chhath Puja celebrates the deep bond between humans and nature. It is dedicated to Surya Dev (the sun god) and Chhathi Maiya, who is considered the sister of the Sun. The festival symbolizes gratitude, purity and discipline, as devotees thank the Sun for sustaining life on earth and seek blessings for health, prosperity and happiness.
