Began on November 5, 2024, the Chhath Puja will continue till November 8, 2024. While this festival follows strict rituals and fasting rules, here are five mistakes you must avoid:

If a family member is observing the Chhath Puja fast, avoid eating any non-vegetarian food at home

Always wash your hands or take a bath before handling anything related to Chhath rituals and offerings for puja

When preparing Chhath Puja prasad and bhog, avoid eating or touching anything salty

The Vratti (the married woman fasting) is the first to eat the prasad after it has been offered to the gods

During the festival, ensure that children do not eat or bite into the fruits and prasad prepared for the Chhath puja
