In Chhath Puja, the setting sun is worshiped by offering arghya, but on the fourth day, offering arghya to the rising sun is a symbol of a new beginning, hope and positivity. It is a sign of a new dawn in life. Devotees believe that offering Arghya to the rising Sun provides relief from all types of diseases, brings happiness and prosperity in the family and bestows the blessing of long life. When the golden rays of the rising sun fall on the body of the fasting person, it provides the energy of a new life.

After offering Arghya to the Sun in the morning on 28th October, the devotees can end their fast at any time. After fasting without water for 36 hours, this moment is very special and emotional. Most of the devotees do not sleep after the evening Arghya and stay awake the whole night singing bhajans and kirtans. After offering Arghya in the morning, they complete their fast.
- Right way: The fast can be broken by drinking raw milk sherbet or eating thekua after the puja. Some women return home from the ghat, light a lamp at the place of worship, pay obeisance to Chhathi Maiya and then break their fast by sitting with the family and taking prasad.

According to tradition, Chhath fast is broken first by eating a little prasad. In this you can eat thekua, kasari (rice laddus), jaggery and rice kheer, or any fruit. At some places, the devotees consume water with basil leaves and then complete their fast by saluting Chhathi Maiya.
