Chhath Puja is one of the most sacred festivals in India, especially in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal, dedicated to Surya (Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya. It is celebrated with devotion, fasting, and rituals that express gratitude to the divine energy sustaining all life.
In 2025, Chhath Puja will begin on Saturday, 25th October, and conclude on Tuesday, 28th October. All timings are according to Indian Standard Time (IST).
🌞 Astrological Significance of Chhath Puja
In Vedic astrology, the Sun (Surya) symbolizes authority, health, vitality, leadership, and the soul’s power (Ātma Shakti). Worshipping the Sun during Chhath Puja brings remarkable astrological and spiritual benefits:
- Strengthens Surya Dasha and positive planetary influences
- Boosts immunity and physical vitality
- Removes Pitru Dosha (ancestral karmic imbalance)
- Enhances career growth, fame, and confidence
- Increases life force (Prana Shakti) and self-discipline
Chhath Puja aligns with the Kartik Shukla Shashthi tithi, a highly auspicious lunar phase when the Sun’s energy is at its purest, supporting spiritual awakening and inner transformation.

Chanting this mantra while offering water to the Sun amplifies the benefits of Surya worship, bringing health, vitality, and spiritual strength.
