Chhat Puja 2022 Sandhya Arghya: The blessed Chhath Puja is celebrated to worship the Sun God. Devotees express gratitude to the almighty Lord Surya, who is regarded as the universe’s creator and the source of life on Earth, during Chhath Puja. In Bihar, Jharkhand, and the eastern regions of eastern Uttar Pradesh, this festival, also known as Maha Parv, is one of the most blessed ones. Throughout the festival’s four days, Lord Surya is worshipped and given Arghya along with Chhati Maiya.
The celebration began on October 28 with Nahay Khay and continued through October 31 with Kharna (Panchami) or Lohanda and Sandhya Arghya.
It is said that during Chhath, deities grant all of the devotees wishes and bestow happiness and good health upon their children.

Chhath Puja 2022: Sandhya Arghya prasad
The soops are used to keep a variety of satvik food items, including rice, sugarcane, thekua/pakwan/tikri, fresh fruits, dry fruits, peda, mithai, wheat, jaggery, almonds, coconuts, ghee, makhana, aruwa, paddy, lemon, gagal, apples, oranges, bodi, cardamom, and green ginger.
Thekua, a sweet treat consisting of flour, sugar, or jaggery, is considered to be the most important prasad of Chhath Puja. The tradition of preparing prasad involves both the vrati and other family members.
Legend has it that Chhathi Mata blesses her worshippers with long life and protects the children from harm. Only during the month of Chhath is an Arghya (offering) made to the setting Sun. On the third day, the fasting lasts all night.
