Chhath
A deeply shared observance honouring the Sun, with offerings at sunset and sunrise.
Devotion and shared effort
Chhath is especially important in Bihar and neighbouring cultural regions. The observance includes a sequence of household preparations and offerings associated with the setting and rising Sun. Family members and communities often support the people undertaking the observance.
