According to Hindu tradition, devotees worship the Sun God and his wife Usha to express gratitude and seek his blessings. During the four-day festival, devotees gather and take a holy dip in rivers, ponds and other water bodies.

This year, the festival will begin with the ritual ‘Nahai Khai’ from November 8 and will end on November 11 with the devotees offering ‘Usha Arghya’ (prayer to the rising sun). The main festival is on 10th November when devotees will offer ‘Argha’ to the Sun God.
