Chhath Puja, a popular Hindu festival, honours the Sun God, Surya, and his wife, Chhathi Maiyya or Usha. On this day, devotees pray to the deities and express gratitude to the source of life on Earth. Chhath puja is observed for four days following Diwali. Every year, it falls on the sixth day of the Hindu calendar's Kartikeya month.
PM Modi also greeted people on the occasion of Chhath Festival today.
सूर्यदेव और प्रकृति की उपासना को समर्पित महापर्व छठ की सभी देशवासियों को हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। भगवान भास्कर की आभा और छठी मइया के आशीर्वाद से हर किसी का जीवन सदैव आलोकित रहे, यही कामना है।

In Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Nepal, devotees gather near water bodies such as dams, lakes, and rivers to pray, as this festival does not involve idolatry.
The festival is mentioned in both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In the Ramayana, Sita is said to have performed Surya Shashthi or Chhath Puja on the day Ramrajya was established, whereas in the Mahabharata, Kunti (the Pandavas' mother) performed the puja after they escaped from Lakshagrih, on the banks of the Ganga.
