Chhath Puja


Surya Shashti popularly known as Chhath, which is also called as “Daala Chhath” is a popular Hindu festival of worshipping Sun God. Sun is considered to be the only visible god. He is considered to be the caretaker of the entire universe.

Chhath is an ancient Hindu festival and the only Vedic Festival dedicated to the Hindu Sun God. The Chhath festival is performed as thanksgiving to Surya for sustaining life on earth and to request the granting of certain wishes.

A prominent festival for the North Indian state of Bihar and certain regions of Uttar Pradesh and Nepal, Chhath Puja rituals start on the sixth day of Hindu calendar month, Kartika.  

Scientific significance

Some say Chhath Puja also has roots in science as it helps the human body get rid of toxicity. Taking dips in water and exposing oneself to the Sun increases the flow of solar bio-electricity that improves the overall functionality of the human body. Some also believe that Chhath Puja helps eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses from the body--thus preparing one for the onset of the winter season.  

Stages of Chhath Puja

There are six great stages of the Chhath puja which are:
  • The belief of fast and cleanliness of body on the festival identify the detoxification of the body and mind in order to set up the body and mind to accept the cosmic solar energy.
  • Standing in water with half of the body inside the water diminishes the escape of energy as well as facilitates the prana to elevate to the sushumna.
  • Then the entrance of cosmic solar energy takes place in the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus glands (known as the Triveni complex) by the retina and optic nerves.
  • In the 4th stage Triveni complex gets activated.
  • After activation of the Triveni complex, spine gets polarized and body of devotee gets transformed into a cosmic powerhouse and gets the Kundalini Shakti.
  • At this stage the devotee is fully able to conduct, recycle and pass on the energy into entire universe.
