It has also been mentioned in both the major Indian epics - In Ramayana, when Rama and Sita returned أيوديا, then people celebrated Deepawali, and on its sixth day Ramrajya was established. في هذا اليوم صام راما وسيتا وقامت سيتا بچهات. Hence, she was blessed with Luv and Kush as their sons. While in the مهابهاراتا، چهات پوجا قام به دراوپادي / كونتي بعد حتى هربا من لاكشاگريه.
المناسك والتنطقيد
The main worshipers, called Parvaitin (from Sanskrit parv, meaning 'occasion' or 'festival'), are usually women. However, many men also observe this festival as Chhath is not a gender-specific festival. The parvaitin pray for the well-being of their family, and for the prosperity of their offspring. In some communities, once a family member starts performing Chhath Puja, it is their compulsory duty to perform it every year and to pass it on to the following generations. The festival is skipped only if there happens to be a death in the family that year. If the person stops performing the ritual on any particular year, it stops permanently and one cannot resume it. In other communities, this is not mandatory.
The prasad offerings include sweets, Kheer, Thekua, rice laddu (made of rice grit) and fruits (mainly sugarcane, sweet lime and banana) offered in small bamboo soop winnows. The food is strictly vegetarian and is cooked without salt, onions or garlic. Emphasis is put on maintaining the purity of the food.
