About the festival
Chhath Puja is the great festival of the Sun of Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Terai of Nepal, kept about six days after Diwali, on the sixth tithi (Shashthi, "chhath") of the bright half of Kartika. Devotees, called vratis, women and men, keep a long and strict fast and stand in a river or pond to offer arghya, an offering of water and food, first to the setting Sun and then to the rising Sun.
