Chhath Puja is an ancient Hindu festival, dedicated to Lord Surya and Chhathi Maiya (known to be the sister of Surya) who are supposed to be the source of all powers. It is the only Vedic festival which is celebrated in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the country of Nepal.
The word ‘Chhath’ is six in Nepali or Hindi Language hence this festival is celebrated on the sixth day of the month of Karthika and that is why the festival is named ‘Chhath Puja’.
