Chhath Maiya Vishesh Surya Arghya Maha Anushthan

Shri Surya Stotra and arghya At first light the pandit ji stands at the water's edge and recites the Shri Surya Stotra. Arghya of milk and water is then offered to the rising sun from a bamboo soop, with thekua, fruit, sugarcane and the traditional offerings of Chhath placed before it. Deep Daan at Assi Ghat After the arghya, deep daan is performed. Earthen diyas are lit in your name and gotra and set upon the Ganga. On the ghats of Kashi, deep daan is held to be among the most meritorious offerings a devotee can make.
