Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday extended warm greetings to citizens on the conclusion of the four-day-long Chhath Puja festival, praying for the well-being and prosperity of all devotees.

In a post on X, Prime Minister Modi expressed happiness over the successful completion of the festival dedicated to the worship of the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya.

“Today, the auspicious conclusion of the great festival of Chhath took place with the morning arghya offered to Lord Sun God. During this four-day ritual, we witnessed the divine glimpse of our grand tradition of Chhath Puja," PM Modi tweeted in Hindi.

भगवान सूर्यदेव को प्रात:कालीन अर्घ्य के साथ आज महापर्व छठ का शुभ समापन हुआ। चार दिवसीय इस अनुष्ठान के दौरान छठ पूजा की हमारी भव्य परंपरा के दिव्य दर्शन हुए। समस्त व्रतियों और श्रद्धालुओं सहित पावन पर्व का हिस्सा बने अपने सभी परिवारजनों का हृदय से अभिनंदन! छठी मइया की असीम कृपा से…— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) October 28, 2025

He further said, “Heartfelt congratulations to all our family members who became part of this sacred festival along with all the fasting devotees and devotees! May the boundless grace of Chhathi Maiya keep all your lives forever illuminated."

Earlier on Tuesday morning, devotees across the country offered Usha Arghya to the rising Sun, marking the culmination of Chhath Puja. Thousands gathered along riverbanks, ponds, and ghats to perform rituals and seek blessings for prosperity and well-being.

In Bihar, large crowds thronged the ghats and riverbanks to offer prayers, placing offerings of fruits and flowers along the water. Security personnel were deployed at major ghats to ensure smooth conduct of the celebrations.

In Delhi, Yamuna Ghat witnessed heavy footfall as devotees offered arghya to the rising Sun. ITO’s Hathi Ghat was brightly illuminated as devotees performed concluding rituals amid hymns and chants.

Similar scenes were witnessed in Varanasi, where devotees gathered in large numbers at the ghats, including Shastri Ghat, to offer prayers on the final day of the festival.

The four-day Chhath Mahaparv began on October 25 with the ritual of Nahay-Khay, followed by Kharna on October 26, Sandhya Arghya (evening offerings) on October 27, and concluded with Usha Arghya (morning offerings) on October 28.
