New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday wished the people on the second day of auspicious Chhath Puja, ‘Kharna’, and prayed for the well-being of all.

The second day of Chhath Puja is known as Kharna. During this day, devotees fast from sunrise to sunset, refraining from both food and water. The fast is broken only after making offerings to the Sun God at sunset.

In a post on X, PM Modi said, “Heartfelt greetings to all on the auspicious occasion of Chhath Parva’s Kharna Puja. I respectfully bow down to all the devotees observing the fast!”

“On this sacred occasion, which symbolises faith and restraint, there is a tradition of partaking in satvik prasad prepared with jaggery-based kheer. My wish is that on this ritual, Chhathi Maiya blesses everyone with her grace,” he added.
