Origins of Chhath Puja:
Dating back to the Rigveda, Chhath Puja has deep cultural roots. Mythological stories tell of the Pandavas and Draupadi performing Chhath Puja to seek blessings and protection. Lord Ram and Sita also honored the Sun upon returning to Ayodhya.The Dhan Varsha Sun Collection by Prabhu Shriram, with fragrances like Vanilla, Pine, Patchouli, Clove, and Saffron, embodies these ancient values. Designed for morning rituals, the Sun Collection is inspired by the reverence of Surya, aiming to invoke energy and abundance. Lighting a stick from the Dhan Varsha Sun Collection during Chhath Puja connects devotees to the festival’s essence, filling the air with fragrances that symbolize growth, prosperity, and personal transformation.
Global Reach of Chhath Puja: Tradition Beyond Borders
While Chhath Puja is deep-rooted in India, its celebration has spread worldwide, observed in countries viz Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Diaspora communities carry the essence of Chhath Puja wherever they go, gathering by rivers, lakes, or even creating makeshift water bodies to offer prayers to the Sun and Chhathi Maiya.

Rituals of Chhath Puja: A Four-Day Devotional Journey
Chhath Puja spans four days, with each day bringing specific rituals that emphasize purity, discipline, and devotion:
1. Nahay Khay: Devotees begin by cleansing themselves in holy rivers, a ritual that purifies the body and soul. Prabhu Shriram’s Dhan Varsha Sun Collection enhances this morning ritual with its warm, revitalizing aromas like Vanilla and Pine, symbolizing a fresh start and the blessings of the Sun.
2. Lohanda/Kharna: Observing a day-long fast, devotees prepare offerings of kheer, puris, and fruits. The 36-hour waterless fast that follows is a testament to their devotion. Lighting the Dhan Varsha Moon Collection during evening prayers adds a soothing aura, with fragrances like Cardamom and Jasmine that invite tranquility, helping devotees connect deeply with their prayers.
3. Sandhya Arghya: The most significant ritual, where devotees gather at sunset to offer the evening arghya. Prabhu Shriram’s Dhan Varsha Moon Collection makes this moment special, with scents like Vetiver and Cinnamon evoking the grounding and transformative qualities needed for reflection and gratitude.
4. Bihaniya Arghya: On the final day, devotees offer morning prayers to the rising Sun, completing their fast. Here, Dhan Varsha Sun Collection’s Patchouli helps clear any lingering negative energy, while Saffron symbolizes wealth and prosperity, aligning with the blessings sought during Chhath Puja.
