Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most significant Hindu festivals celebrated across India and in various parts of the world. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Chhath Puja is a major festival primarily celebrated in the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, as well as among the Indian diaspora. It honors the Sun God, Surya, and his wife, Usha, for granting health and prosperity. The festival lasts for four days, during which devotees observe fasting, take ritual baths, and offer prayers at riverbanks or ponds during sunrise and sunset.
