Celebrating Chhath Puja: A Festival of Faith, Devotion, and Gratitude to the Sun
Chhath Puja, one of the most vibrant and spiritually uplifting festivals in India, is dedicated to Surya Dev (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya, the goddess who is believed to be the sister of the Sun. This festival holds a special place in the hearts of millions, especially in Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern Uttar Pradesh, symbolizing purity, devotion, and thankfulness for life and nature.
The celebration lasts for four days, filled with rituals that emphasize cleanliness, self-discipline, and deep devotion. Devotees fast, take holy dips in rivers or ponds, and offer prayers to the setting and rising sun — expressing gratitude for energy, prosperity, and well-being.
Homes and ghats (riverbanks) glow with the light of diyas, and the air is filled with the sounds of devotional songs and the aroma of traditional offerings like thekua, kheer, and fresh fruits. Families come together to pray for happiness, health, and success, making it a time of both spiritual reflection and social harmony.
Chhath Puja is not just a festival — it’s a reminder of the deep connection between humans and nature, where the rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, and the setting sun represents gratitude for all blessings received.
At HKB Group, we celebrate the spirit of Chhath Puja with joy and reverence, honoring traditions that bring families and communities closer.
