Chhath Puja is a Hindu festival dedicated to the Sun God. It is celebrated once a year, usually in the month of November. The festival involves a four-day fast, during which devotees offer prayers to the Sun God for the well-being of their family and friends. The last day of the festival is the most important, when devotees take a dip in the river and offer prayers to the setting sun.
