Chhath festival is a four-day festival of faith dedicated to Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. During this time, devotees worship the Sun through fasting, bathing and collective worship. This festival is especially popular among the people of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Nepal, but lakhs of Purvanchal residents settled in Delhi celebrate it with utmost devotion and enthusiasm.
