Chhath Puja Sandhya Arghya 2025: Significance
The Sun God is considered the giver of life. Life on Earth is impossible without the Sun and rivers. This is why offerings to the Sun are made while standing on a river or ghat. If access to a river or ghat is not available, offerings to the Sun can also be made while standing in collected water. This means that touching water is essential. According to astrology, the Sun is the king of the planets. The Sun is associated with luck, success, and a healthy body. Therefore, just as sunrise brings light, similarly, life is wished to be filled with light.
