As the golden rays of the sun touch the sacred waters of rivers and ponds, the divine festival of Chhath Puja begins — a time of gratitude, purity, and devotion. This ancient Hindu festival, dedicated to Surya Dev (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya, holds a special place in the hearts of millions across Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh.

The First Day of Chhath Puja: Nahai Khai

The first day of Chhath Puja is known as “Nahai Khai”, which marks the beginning of this four-day-long festival. On this day, devotees take a holy dip in rivers or ponds, symbolizing purification of the body and soul. The day’s rituals begin with women, especially mothers, cleaning their homes and preparing the first pure offering — usually rice, pumpkin, and gram dal cooked in bronze or clay utensils.

This meal, prepared with utmost devotion, is shared with family members after offering it to the Sun God. It signifies the start of a spiritual journey filled with fasting, discipline, and gratitude.

A Festival of Family, Faith, and Togetherness

Chhath Puja is not just a religious practice — it’s a celebration of family bonding and shared values. Children watch their mothers and grandmothers perform the rituals with devotion, learning about culture, patience, and respect for nature.

It’s during such moments that parents can pass on stories and traditions to the younger generation — and what better way to make these memories lasting than through playful learning?
