What is Chhath Puja?

According to Hindu Mythology, Chhath Puja is basically worshipping of the Surya devta (God of Sun), and as well as his sister, the Chhati Maiya (Shashti devi). Individuals observe nirjala fasts and offer prayers to the god and the goddess by bathing in the holy water in the nearest river to them. The Chhath Puja is done during the sunrise and sunset time.
