Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended greetings to the nation on the occasion of Chhath Puja, a significant Hindu festival celebrated mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Chhath Puja is dedicated to the worship of the Sun God, Surya, and his consort, Usha, and spans four days. This year, the festival began on November 5 and concludes on November 8, with the morning Arghya ritual on the final day being particularly significant. The festival symbolizes hope, health, and gratitude, and is marked by rituals such as fasting, holy bathing, and prayers.
