Chhath Puja(Worship to Sun)
Uploaded: July 30, 2011
On the fourth day of Shukla Paksha of Kartik, lakhs of devotees along the Indo-Gangetic plains, chiefly Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh, begin the four-day Chhath festival, in continuance of a tradition that goes back to posterity, carrying forward India’s living tradition of worshipping the divine creator and nourisher — the Sun God. Today, lakhs of Biharis settled in other parts of India and even abroad perform Chhath.
