Chhath Puja 2025: The Chhath festival has begun, and today, October 25, 2025, is Nahai Khay. This day marks the beginning of the four-day Chhath festival. This festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm in Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern Uttar Pradesh.
But today, we’ll tell you about Kharna, which falls on the second day of the Chhath festival. It’s considered a significant day. A fast is observed on this day, and after sunrise, the fast is broken by offering food to the deities. Prasad is then provided to Chhathi Maiya. But we’ll tell you what to keep in mind and what mistakes to avoid.
These mistakes should never be made on Kharna day.
- Puja items should never be touched with dirty hands, even by mistake. These should always be felt only after washing hands or bathing.
- Care should be taken to ensure that no one touches the Kharna items with dirty hands. Even if this happens, they should not be used in worship.
- It should also be ensured that the place where the Prasad is being prepared is spotless.
- Fasting women and family members can eat only after offering the Prasad to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya.
- Rock salt should not be used in the Prasad; instead, rock salt should be added.
