It is said that by observing the fast of Chhathi Maiya, the devotee as well as his family gets the blessings of health and prosperity. This is considered a difficult fast, because in this, a waterless fast is observed for 36 hours. On the second day of Chhath festival i.e. Kharna, fasting is observed from morning to evening. In such a situation, you can chant these mantras while offering Arghya to Sun God on this day.

Chant these mantras

There is a belief about Kharna that from this day onwards Chhathi Maiya enters the devotee's house. In such a situation, during Kharna Puja, the devotee should chant these mantras while offering Arghya to the Sun. By this, the devotee gets the blessings of Chhathi Maiya along with the Sun God.

• 'Ehi Surya Sahastraansho Tejorashe Jagatpate. Compassionate Maa Bhaktya Grihanardhya Diwakar. Hateful Surya Namah.'
• 'Om Suryay Namah..'
• 'Om Ghrini Suryay Namah.'
• 'Om Hreem Ghriniah Surya Adityah Clean Om.'
• 'Om disgusting Surya: Aditya.'

This Prasad is made

On the day of Kharna, Nirjala Vrat is observed from sunrise to sunset. On this day, in the evening, prasad for Chhathi Maiya's worship is mainly prepared as kheer made of jaggery and rice, which is prepared on a new earthen stove. After consuming this kheer, Nirjala Vrat starts again.

Take special care of these things

While preparing Kharna Prasad, complete care should be taken of purity, otherwise your fast may be broken. Prasad should be prepared only after taking bath and wearing clean clothes on this day. New utensils should also be used for preparing Prasad. After offering food to Chhathi Maiya, distribute Prasad to the needy people as well. By doing this, the devotee gets virtuous fruits.
