Calculated for Patna. Festival dates can differ by a day between cities and between regional traditions; your family priest's panchang has the final word.
How it is celebrated
Day one is Nahay Khay (a holy bath and a simple meal); day two is Kharna, a day-long fast ended with kheer; on day three the fasting devotees offer arghya to the setting Sun standing in water; on day four they offer arghya to the rising Sun and end the 36-hour fast.

Why do calendars sometimes show different dates for Chhath Puja?
Hindu festivals follow the lunar tithi, which begins and ends at different clock times. Each festival has a rule about which part of the day the tithi must cover — sunrise, midday, dusk or midnight. When the tithi straddles two days, calendars that apply the rule for a different city, or a different tradition, can land on different days. We show the rule we used and the tithi timings so you can check.
