Chhath Puja Morning Arghya: The Sacred Offering of the Rising Sun

Chhath Puja, one of the most important festivals of the Bihar region, culminates in the offering of Arghya (prayers) to the rising Sun God on the morning of the fourth day. As the first rays of the sun touch the earth, devotees gather near rivers or water bodies to offer their gratitude and seek blessings for prosperity, health, and happiness. The ritual is accompanied by chants, prayers, and the offering of various sacred items like fruits, flowers, and water, symbolizing purity and devotion. The atmosphere is filled with reverence, as families come together in the early morning hours, standing in knee-deep water, facing the sun with unwavering faith and gratitude. This moment is not just a religious observance but a celebration of life, nature, and the blessings of the Sun God.
