Chhath Puja Muhurat 2025 centers on two sacred offerings: Sandhya Arghya on 27 October 2025 and Usha Arghya on 28 October 2025. Across Patna (Bihar), Ranchi (Jharkhand), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), and Kolkata (West Bengal), these observances align with local sunset (Sandhya) and local sunrise (Usha). For accuracy, devotees typically rely on a city-specific Panchang or official sunrise and sunset data, ensuring that the offering coincides with the visible solar disc at the horizon.
The guiding principle is straightforward and consistent: Sandhya Arghya is offered precisely at local sunset on 27 October 2025, while Usha Arghya is offered at local sunrise on 28 October 2025. Because sunrise and sunset vary by location and atmospheric conditions, devotees in Patna, Ranchi, Varanasi, and Kolkata should match their observance to the day’s published local times. This practice maintains the ritual’s precision without introducing uncertainty.
Determining the muhurat in practice involves three steps: consult a reliable Panchang or authoritative calendar for city-wise sunrise and sunset on the specified dates; reach the ghat in advance to account for crowd management and visibility; and perform the arghya when the solar disc is clearly visible at the horizon. Local administration may announce staggered windows to ensure safety at riverbanks and reservoirs; such guidance is designed to support orderly and devotional observance.
Chhath Puja is widely regarded as a disciplined vrat that culminates in these luminous moments of Sandhya and Usha Arghya. For many families, the evening silence at the water’s edge and the serene dawn the next day evoke a profound sense of gratitude to Surya and Chhathi Maiya. The shared reverence for the sun, water, and nature resonates across dharmic traditions, nurturing social harmony and ecological responsibility.
City-wise observance follows the same principle. In Patna and across Bihar, Sandhya Arghya aligns with the city’s official sunset on 27 October 2025; Usha Arghya aligns with the city’s published sunrise on 28 October 2025. The same applies in Ranchi (Jharkhand), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), and Kolkata (West Bengal), where devotees observe the offering when the sun is at the horizon, guided by that day’s local timings.
Preparation typically includes soaking fruits and sugarcane, arranging soops and eco-friendly offerings, and ensuring family members can reach the chosen ghat safely and punctually. Many households also coordinate with neighbors and community volunteers, reinforcing the collective spirit that defines Chhath Puja. This careful planning enhances both devotional focus and community well-being.
Sustainability and safety remain integral to the observance. Devotees increasingly choose biodegradable materials, avoid synthetic decorations, and keep riverbanks clean, reflecting a shared ethical commitment to the environment. Local advisories regarding weather, water levels, and crowd flow help preserve both the sanctity and safety of the ritual.
In essence, the muhurat for Chhath Puja 2025 is simple, exact, and locally grounded: Sandhya Arghya at sunset on 27 October and Usha Arghya at sunrise on 28 October, as per each city’s sunrise and sunset. This clarity allows every householdacross Patna, Ranchi, Varanasi, and Kolkatato uphold tradition with confidence, deepen intercommunity unity within the broader dharmic family, and honor nature with mindful devotion.
