Chhath Puja 2019: Wishes, quotes, messages to wish your loved ones on this auspicious festival

Chhath Puja, a four-day-long festival, is celebrated across various states primarily in Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. 

The festivities began on October 31 and will conclude on Sunday after devotees offer 'arhgya' to the rising Sun and end their 36-hour long fast.

The Chhath Puja is celebrated on the sixth day of the Kartik month of the Hindu calendar which also happens to be the fourth day after Diwali. 

Today is the third day of the festival when the devotees perform 'pehla argha' or 'sandhya argha'. The devotees and their families go to the river bank and offer prasad to the Sun God during sunset and pray for happiness and prosperity.

Day one of the festival is called Nahai Khai, which begins with devotees taking the holy dip in Ganga River. On the next day, devotees observe a full-day fast which is completed in the evening after praying to the sun and the moon during sunset. The third day is called 'pehla argha' or 'sandhya argha'. The devotees and their families go to the river bank and offer prasad to the Sun God during sunset and pray for happiness and prosperity.

On the fourth and the last day, which is also is known as 'doosra argha', devotees offer their prayers to the Sun God on the river banks before the sunrise and conclude their fast and eat special prasad and delicacies made for the festival.
