As Chhat is about worshipping the Sun, women who keep a 36-hour fast begin it with offering of water or aragh to the setting Sun and finish it off with a similar offering to rising sun the next day. The fast is observed for health and prosperity of the family. Women place fruits, vegetables, sugarcane and wheat preparation called Thekua on a bamboo tray. This tray is carried near a water body and women hold it as they stand in water to offer prayers first to the setting Sun and then early morning to rising Sun.

The aragh ceremony will be held at 5.35 pm on Sunday (November 6) and the second aragh ceremony is slated for 6.11 am on November 7.
