Chhath Ke Geet: As the festive lights of Diwali fade, preparations for Chhath Puja 2025 have begun across the country with great enthusiasm. The four-day festival, celebrated from October 25 to October 28, 2025, is not just a ritual but a deep expression of faith and devotion towards Surya Dev (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya. Homes, ghats, and riversides are already being decorated, echoing with devotional songs that set the mood for one of India’s most sacred celebrations.

Chhath Puja feels incomplete without Bhojpuri devotional music, especially the timeless Chhath Geet sung by legends like Sharda Sinha, Anuradha Paudwal, Pawan Singh, and Akshara Singh. These songs have become an emotional part of the festival, played across households every year.
