Chaiti Chhath, a significant festival celebrated in many parts of India, marks its commencement from the Chaturthi date of the Chaitra month. The rituals of Nahay-Khay are observed on the first day, followed by Kharna on the second day, Surya Arghya in the evening on the third day, and Arghya in the morning on the fourth day. One of the essential aspects of Chhath Puja is the offering of Prasad and various fruits, believed to be favored by Chhathi Maiya, the presiding deity of the festival. Sugarcane holds particular importance during Chhath Puja, symbolizing prosperity and happiness. Pandit Raja Acharya from Gaya Mantralaya Vedic Pathshala emphasizes that offering sugarcane to Chhathi Maiya is integral to the completion of the puja. The ritual involves arranging sugarcane in the form of a house and worshipping it, believed to bring blessings and prosperity to the family. Additionally, coconut plays a significant role in fulfilling devotees' wishes during Chhath Puja. Coconut, symbolizing happiness and good fortune, is revered during the festival, signifying the presence of Goddess Lakshmi's blessings in the household.

Chaitri Chhath Puja for the year 2024 is scheduled to commence on April 12th and conclude with Parana on April 15th. Nahay Khay will be observed on Friday, April 12th, followed by Kharna on Saturday, April 13th, Sandhya Arghya on Sunday, April 14th, and Paran during the sunrise on Monday, April 15th. This annual observance holds immense cultural and spiritual significance, drawing devotees together in prayer and offerings to seek the blessings of Chhathi Maiya.
