Happy Chhath Puja:Sanjhiya Arghya
The day is spent preparing the "prasad" at home.Those who help, also take a bath and fast till all the prasad is made.On the eve of this day, the entire household accompanies the "parvaitins" to a riverbank, pond or a common large water body with the Thekuas fruits, etc to make the offerings (Aragh)of milk to the setting sun. It is during this phase of Chhath Puja that the devotees offer prayers to the just setting sun, while the parvaitin chants the Gayatri Mantra.
The occasion is almost a carnival and is a wonderful experience for anyone who is a part of this ritual.
