Nahay khay – 25 october
Nahay Khay of Chhath
Nahay Khay is the first day of the Chhath festival, marking the beginning of this sacred four-day celebration. On this day, devotees take a holy bath and eat only pure vegetarian food prepared without onion and garlic. It symbolizes self-purification and devotion before starting the main Chhath rituals dedicated to Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya.
