Chhat puja is basically dedicated to God Sun and ancient godess Chhati Maiya. Sun is the main source  of life in earth, so in this festival people thanks to the god sun and also wish to fulfill their life with joy and happiness. This festival basically celebrated in Bihar,Jharkhand and Eastern UP.In the recent time migrant from these places are also celebrate Chhat in different part of the country as well as in foreign countries ,where the people from these area lived .In kharagpur I can watch this festival from my birth .Mandir talab in Kharida is the mainly used for this puja in past but from some years back many other ponds water bodies are also used for worship this festival. Other than mandir talab, Jhin Talab in Bhagwanpur, Jhapatapur and Kansawati River are the main worship area .This festival celebrate in four days. This festival occurred in sixth day of karthik month as per Hindu calendar and October last or November starting as per English calendar.
This festival was came from Rig-Veda era, In Mahabharata also draupadi, follow the similar ritual. Pandava and draupadi on the advice of Dhaumya, perform this ritual. It is also believe that chat was started by karna (son of God Sun) of Mahabharata, who was ruled the Anga desh which is actually the part of Bhagalpur Bihar, so this festival basically root from Bihar.Kharagpurmylove present you chhat puja in kharagpur and near about area.

This Festival is also the worship of Chhati maiya,also known as Usha ,who is actually wife of God Sun. In today early morning when I came back to kharagpur from Kolkata am watching crowds of people, who are going to ahiritola and babu ghat in Kolkata. It was 4am in the morning but the crowds in maniktala and bara bazaar area looks like a day time crowed.
