Aurangabad Chhath Puja 2025 Sunrise Time: The Chhath Puja is a deeply-spiritual festival dedicated to the Sun God (Surya Dev) and Chhathi Maiya, performed during fasting, purification and offering arghya at sunrise. In 2025, festivities spread across India, including the Aurangabad city (Maharashtra). Following is a clear-cut guide for the main dates, timings, muhurat and rituals of the region, which is designed to assist devotees in preparation.
In 2025 the festival of four days starts on Saturday, 25 October with Nahay Khay, then Kharna on Sunday, 26 October, Sandhya Arghya on Monday, 27 October, and finishes with Usha Arghya on Tuesday, 28 October.
For Aurangabad, the daily sunrise timings suggest that on 28 October 2025 the sunrise is around 05:57 AM IST. This is the time when devotees take their last Usha Arghya to the Sun rising.
The Shashthi Tithi (sixth day) on 2025 starts at approximately 06:04 AM on 27 October and finishes at approximately 07:59 AM on 28 October. The followers in Aurangabad should try to complete the Usha Arghya offering during early morning hours, before the tithi gets over, to coincide with the muhurat.
Clean the house and puja place; prepare light vegetarian food excluding onion and garlic. Prepare offerings such as thekua, sugarcane, seasonal fruits and basket (soop). For Usha Arghya stand in clean water (river/pond) facing east, hold offerings and recite the given mantras or songs. Share prasad with family and friends after sunrise and offering.
"Paran" (spelled sometimes as Parana) is the fasting-breaking ceremony after Usha Arghya on the last day. The devotees have water or milk to drink, consume the prasad they offered, and ritually end the 36-hour (approx.) fast of Chhath.
Aurangabad in 2025 will see the Paran on Tuesday, 28 October, immediately after Usha Arghya offering at dawn.
