The second day of Chhath Puja falls on 15 November, and Amar Ujala has released the exact sunset‑offering (Arghya) timings for each of Bihar’s 38 districts.
Bihar’s iconic Chhath festival entered its second day on 15 November, a day when devotees gather on riverbanks to offer prayers to the setting sun. Unlike any other Indian celebration, Chhath centers its rituals around the precise moment the sun dips below the horizon.
Amar Ujala, a leading regional newspaper, compiled a district‑wise schedule indicating the exact time of the sunset Arghya for all 38 districts of the state. The timetable helps worshippers coordinate their rituals, ensuring the offering is made at the prescribed moment.
The published timings vary slightly across districts due to geographical differences in sunset times. Residents of Patna, Gaya, Darbhanga, and other districts can refer to the newspaper’s table or its online portal to plan their evening prayers accordingly.
Organisers of the festival have emphasized that observing the correct Arghya time is essential for the ritual’s sanctity, and the detailed schedule aims to aid millions of participants in performing the rites uniformly across Bihar.
