Chhath Puja
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Standing waist-deep in water, offering to the setting and rising sun - this is not primitive worship but profound wisdom. You are acknowledging the source of all energy while standing in the source of all life.
