Chhath Puja, one of the most revered Hindu festivals, celebrates the Sun God (Surya Dev) and Chhathi Maiya. Observed mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and now widely in Delhi, the festival is marked by devotion, fasting, and offerings to the Sun for health, prosperity, and well-being.
In Delhi, devotees gather at the Yamuna ghats, artificial ponds, and community water bodies to perform the sacred rituals. Chhath Puja in 2025 promises the same fervor and spiritual devotion as every year, with precise timings to perform each ritual.
In Delhi, Chhath Puja 2025 Sandhya Arghya will be observed on October 27, 2025, at 5:40 PM, coinciding with the sunset. Sandhya Arghya, the evening offering to the setting Sun, is one of the most important rituals of Chhath Puja.
In 2025, the Usha Arghya (morning offering) in Delhi will take place at 6:30 AM on October 28, 2025. Devotees stand in water bodies or riverbanks, offering arghya to the rising Sun while singing traditional Chhath songs. This morning ritual marks the culmination of the Chhath fast and is followed by the breaking of the fast (Paran).
The Kharna is the ritual where devotees break their day-long fast with kheer, roti, and fruits. In 2025, Kharna Prasad will be prepared after sunset on October 26, 2025, after the evening prayers, marking the first meal of the Chhath period. It is a simple yet sacred offering that symbolizes purity and devotion.
The sunset (Suryast) in Delhi during Chhath Puja 2025 is at 5:40 PM on October 27, 2025, which is the perfect time for Sandhya Arghya. Devotees are advised to reach the ghats well in advance to perform the rituals smoothly.
Chhath Puja in Delhi is a festival of devotion, cleanliness, and gratitude. With exact timings for Sandhya Arghya, Usha Arghya, Kharna, and Muhurat, devotees can follow rituals perfectly and seek blessings from the Sun God for prosperity and well-being.
