According to the Panchang, this time the Chhath festival has started from November 05. On the first day, the tradition of bathing and eating has been followed. After this, on the second day i.e. today (November 06), there is Kharna Puja (Chhath Puja Kharna 2024). On this day, the fast of Chhath starts after taking the prasad. It is the custom to keep this fast without water for 36 hours. It is believed that by not observing Chhath fast methodically, the person is deprived of the blessings of Chhathi Maiya. In such a situation, let us tell you in this article about the method of Chhath fast (Chhath Puja 2024 Vrat Vidhi).
How to observe Chhath fast
On the first day of Chhath festival , Nahai-Khai is done. On the second day, Kharna Puja has special importance. On this day, fasting women make a new earthen stove. They prepare prasad of jaggery and rice pudding. After this, Kharna Puja is done and prasad is offered to Chhathi Maiya. The fasting women accept this prasad and the prasad is distributed among the family members. After this, the Nirjala fast begins. The next day, fasting is observed and arghya is offered to the setting sun as per the rituals and on the last day, arghya is offered to the rising sun. During this, Chhathi Maiya and Sun God are worshipped. During this, the mantras of Sun God must be chanted. Then prasad is distributed among the people and women break the fast. After this, it is considered auspicious to donate to the poor people according to one's faith.
