Here are some important Dos and Don’ts to follow during Chhath Puja:
Dos:
Keep your home, surroundings, and puja space clean. The devotee observing the fast (Vrati) should maintain complete purity in thoughts and actions.
Begin each day of the puja with a bath in a clean body of water, such as a river or pond, symbolizing purification.
Eat only vegetarian and onion-garlic-free meals before and during the puja.
Use Natural Materials: Use earthen lamps, bamboo baskets (daura), and eco-friendly items for offerings.
Cook Kheer, Thekua, and fruits with pure hands and in a clean environment.
The Vrati should keep the fast with utmost devotion and avoid anger, gossip, or negativity.

Don’ts:
Avoid Alcohol, Meat, or Smoking.
Don’t touch the offerings without purification
Avoid Using Metal Utensils because traditionally, only earthen or brass utensils are used.
Do Not Interrupt a Devotee’s Fast.
Celebration
Chhath Puja 2025 reminds us that faith, discipline, and cleanliness are key to seeking divine blessings from Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya. Observing these dos and don’ts ensures a spiritually fulfilling and auspicious celebration. On the second day of the sacred festival, Kharna is observed, which symbolises purification of body and soul, preparing devotees for the 36-hour nirjala fast that follows. The rituals reflect deep gratitude toward nature and the life-giving energy of the Sun.
