✨ Chhath Puja 2025 – Gratitude to the Sun, Blessings for Life ☀️
📅 A sacred four-day festival celebrated with devotion across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Nepal, honouring Surya Dev (Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya (Goddess of dawn & energy).
🌠 Astrological Significance
Chhath Puja aligns with the waxing phase of the moon (Shukla Paksha) in the Kartik month—a time when the Sun’s vitality and life-force (Prāṇa) are celebrated and maximised.
