Here are steps to make sure your rituals go smoothly:
Identify the correct water-body and reach there ahead of the time listed for your city.
Get your offerings ready ahead (fruits, sugar-cane, thekua, diyas, earthen pots) so you can perform without delay.
For the evening offering: ensure you’re seated or standing properly before the last rays of the Sun.
For the morning offering: aim to be settled just before sunrise to catch the first light.
Check and follow local guidelines (safety at ghats, crowd management, cleanliness) especially since large gatherings occur.
Avoid distractions, mobile use or phone ringing during the offering moment and maintain the ritual’s sanctity.
Dress appropriately, devotees often stand in waist-deep water, so footwear and attire must allow movement and safety.
In case of bad weather or delayed visibility of Sun-rays, follow your local priest’s advice or community muhurat shifts.
Chhath Puja offers a profoundly spiritual experience tied to nature, devotion and family. Wherever you are, may your prayers be heard, and may the Sun’s energy fill your life with health, happiness and prosperity.
