The Four Days of Chhath at a Glance
Many wish lists skip the festival itself. Here is a short, general guide. Customs differ between families and regions, so follow what your elders do.
| Day | Name | What usually happens | Caption idea |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nahay Khay | A holy bath and a simple satvik meal, often lauki, chana dal and rice | Day one: a clean home and a calm mind. |
| 2 | Kharna | A day-long fast that ends in the evening with jaggery kheer and roti offered as prasad; the stricter fast begins after this | Kharna kheer, the sweetest prasad. |
| 3 | Sandhya Arghya | Evening offering to the setting sun at a river or pond, with a soop or daura of thekua, fruits and sugarcane | Golden hour, holiest hour. |
| 4 | Usha Arghya | Offering to the rising sun, followed by breaking the fast (parana) | The first ray, the final arghya. |
What to Wear for Chhath Puja
Women often wear sarees for Chhath, and many families prefer bright yellow, orange, red or green. Some vratis wear new, unstitched cotton sarees. In many families, women also wear long sindoor from the nose to the parting of the hair as a traditional mark of the festival.
- Pick comfort first. You may stand in water for a long time. A soft cotton or light silk saree is easier to manage than heavy zari. Our guide to cotton sarees has good options.
- Keep a second saree. Change into a dry one after arghya, especially for the cold morning.
- Silk for the evening. If you want a richer look for Sandhya Arghya photos, see our list of silk saree types.
- Simple jewellery. Glass or lac bangles and a small nose pin suit the festival. Find lines for close-ups in our bangles captions.
- Shawl for dawn. November mornings by the river can be chilly.

Tips for Sharing Chhath Wishes
- Send personal wishes to elders by voice note or a call. A forwarded image means less to them than your voice.
- If you are away from home, the Bhojpuri line “परदेस में बानी, बाकिर मन घाटे पर बा” says a lot in a few words.
- Avoid posting photos of vratis in wet clothes without asking them first.
- Keep captions respectful. Chhath is a fast and a prayer, not only a photo event.
