Significance of Usha Arghya (Morning Offering)
Chhath Puja, also known as Pratihar, Dala Chhath, Chhathi, or Surya Shashthi, holds a special importance in the Hindu religion. On the final day, devotees gather again before dawn to offer Usha Arghya, the offering to the rising Sun. This marks the conclusion of the fast. After praying for family happiness, health and well-being, Vratis break their long nirjala fast. The offerings symbolize gratitude, prosperity and thankfulness for life's sustenance.
