Surya dev ki aaradhana

About Chhath Puja (छठ पूजा)

Chhath Puja (छठ पूजा) is one of India's many cherished festivals — celebrated with prayers, family gatherings, traditional sweets, and the timeless joy of shared cultural memory. It marks surya dev ki aaradhana. For people across the country and the diaspora, Chhath Puja is a moment to pause, connect with loved ones, and renew the bonds that define our communities. Whether observed quietly in family homes or celebrated publicly with vibrant decorations, the festival carries forward traditions that have been refined over generations.

When and why Chhath Puja is celebrated

In 2026, Chhath Puja falls on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Chhath Puja is observed across India with regional and family-specific variations — but its core spirit of joy, togetherness, and cultural pride remains universal. Marking the date on a card, sending a thoughtful wish in the receiver's mother tongue, and following up with a personal call or meeting are all ways to keep the festival's traditions alive in modern, busy lives.

Chhath Puja traditions and regional variations across India

Traditional Chhath Puja celebrations include prayers and rituals at home or community temples, special foods and sweets prepared days in advance, new clothes worn for the occasion, family gatherings that often span multiple generations, and the exchange of gifts, greetings, and warm wishes. Regional variations across Indian states give the festival its rich texture — what's observed in Gujarat may look subtly different from how it's marked in Bengal, Kerala, or Punjab — but the spirit of community, gratitude, and cultural belonging is the constant thread.
