Do You Know What Is The Story Of Chhath Pooja

According to the Mahabharata, when the Pandavas lost everything in gambling, Draupadi kept the fast of Chhath and the Pandavas got their lost kingdom back.

After killing Ravan when lord Rama and Sita returned from their exile to Ayodhya they observed this fast.

This is the only Hindu festival or perhaps the only festival in the world that signifies the rising and the setting Sun. The most unique feature of  Chhath Puja

There is no Murti Pujan or Idol Worshipping unlike most of the festivals of the Hindu religion. Some people simply opine that Sun is necessary for the life of possibly every creature on the earth and this festival is a way to pay tribute to it irrespective of caste, creed, gender, race, and social stigmas.
