October 25, 2025—As the serene waters of the Ganga and Yamuna reflect the first rays of Kartik’s Shukla Paksha, the Bhojpuri heartland and its diaspora awaken to the sacred call of Chhath Puja, the four-day festival of solar reverence and selfless surrender. The dates for Chhath Puja 2025 are now etched in the calendar as October 25 to October 28, a divine progression that begins today, Saturday, October 25, with Nahay Khay and concludes on Tuesday, October 28, with Usha Arghya, as proclaimed by the authoritative Drik Panchang and validated by the Kashi Vidwat Parishad.
