Nation Gears Up for Chhath Puja on October 26th, 2025
[City, Date] – Preparations are underway for Chhath Puja, a festival dedicated to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya, which will be celebrated on October 26th, 2025, marking the sixth day of the Shukla Paksha in the Kartik month. The festivities will commence with the ‘Nahay-Khay’ ritual starting on the Chaturthi Tithi.
Chhath Puja is a significant Hindu festival where women observe a rigorous, waterless fast for 36 hours, praying for the well-being, prosperity, and longevity of their children. A central part of the ritual involves offering ‘Arghya’ to the setting sun while standing in a river or pond. This act symbolizes spiritual purification and inner peace.
As the date approaches, communities are preparing for the celebrations, and individuals are exchanging Chhath Puja greetings, wishing each other happiness and blessings for this auspicious occasion.
