Chhath Puja 2025 in Deoghar: Check Usha Arghya and Muhurat timings.
The festival of Chhath Puja holds immense religious and cultural importance, especially among devotees of Lord Surya (the Sun God). Celebrated with great devotion in states such as Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Deoghar, Chhath Puja marks a period of gratitude, purity, and prayer for well-being and prosperity.
In 2025, Deoghar ’s ghats and riversides will once again glow with diyas as devotees gather to perform the sacred rituals of Chhath with unwavering faith.
The Usha Arghya (morning offering to the Sun) in Deoghar will take place at 5:47 AM (approx.) on October 28, 2025. This sacred ritual marks the culmination of Chhath Puja when devotees break their long fast after offering Arghya to the rising Sun.
In 2025, Chhath Puja will be celebrated on Saturday, October 25, and conclude on Tuesday, October 28. The four-day festival starts with Nahay Khay and continues through Kharna, Sandhya Arghya, and Usha Arghya.
These four days represent cleansing, fasting, and a deep spiritual connection with the elements—water, sunlight, and air.
In Deoghar, the Sandhya Arghya (evening offering to the setting Sun) will be performed around 5:06 PM on October 27, 2025, while the Usha Arghya (morning offering to the rising Sun) will take place around 5:47 AM on October 28, 2025.
Devotees are advised to reach the ghats at least an hour early to prepare for the rituals and avoid rush-hour crowds.
The rituals of Chhath Puja in Deoghar follow the same traditions observed in Bihar and eastern India. Devotees begin with Nahay Khay, where they purify themselves by bathing and cooking a simple meal. On Kharna, they observe a fast throughout the day and eat only after sunset, consuming kheer, roti, and fruits.
On the third day, women observe a nirjala vrat (fast without water) and offer Sandhya Arghya to the setting Sun at Yamuna ghats, artificial ponds, or rooftops decorated for the occasion. The final day, known as Usha Arghya, sees devotees offering water and prayers to the rising Sun before breaking their 36-hour fast.
Paran marks the end of the strict fasting period observed during Chhath Puja. Devotees break their fast after offering the morning Arghya on the last day. The Paran meal usually includes kheer, roti, and fruits prepared without salt or spices.
The Paran for Chhath Puja 2025 will be observed on Tuesday, October 28, right after the Usha Arghya ritual in the morning.
