Chhath Puja Sandhya Arghya Timings: When Will the Sun Set in Different UP Districts? Check the Full List Here

Uttar Pradesh: Devotees observing the strict rituals of Chhath Puja observed a day-long fast on Saturday. Today, Sunday evening, on the sixth day of the festival (Shashthi), devotees will offer arghya to the Sun God with water and milk. Check the Chhath Puja Sandhya Arghya timings for today, as sunset timings for various districts of Uttar Pradesh have been released.

Women observing the fast will sing traditional songs dedicated to Chhathi Maiya. A large number of devotees are expected to gather along the banks of the Ganga and Varuna rivers, as well as at major ponds and water bodies across the city, to offer arghya to the setting Sun.

On the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartik (Saturday), women observing the Chhath fast performed Kharna Puja, marking the second day of the festival. After worshipping Chhathi Maiya in the evening, they offered jaggery kheer, roti and fruits as prasad.

Following the rituals, family members also consumed the prasad. Women sang traditional Chhath songs and devotional hymns in praise of Chhathi Maiya. With the completion of Kharna Puja and the consumption of prasad, devotees began the rigorous 36-hour nirjala vrat, during which they abstain from both food and water, praying for the well-being of their children and families.

Auspicious Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga as Chhath Falls on Sunday

Astrologer SS Nagpal said that, according to religious beliefs, Chhathi Maiya enters devotees' homes from the day of Kharna. Chhath Puja is dedicated to the worship of the Sun God. This year, the festival falls on Sunday, which is considered the day of the Sun God. An auspicious Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is also forming this year, which is believed to be highly beneficial.

He said that Kartik Shukla Shashthi will be observed on November 15 (Sunday). The Shashthi Tithi began at 11:23 pm on Saturday and will end at 2 am on Sunday night.

Uttarashada and Shravana Nakshatras will prevail on Sunday night, while the Moon will transit through Capricorn. According to the Udaya Tithi (the date prevailing at sunrise), arghya will be offered to the setting Sun on November 15.
