Frequently asked questions

I live outside Bihar. Is this useful for me? Yes. It includes timings for Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and more, and explains how to keep Chhath at home.

Are the arghya times exact? They're calculated for a flat horizon. Buildings and haze can hide the sun a few minutes early, so be in the water in good time.
