The festival of Yamuna Chhath falls during the celebrations of the Chaitra Navratri on the sixth day. On this day, devotees wake up early and take a bath in the holy river before sunrise. Traditionally, it is believed that people who take a dip in the holy river of Yamuna, purify their souls and wash off their sins. After taking a dip, Chhath Puja is done dedicated to Goddess Yamuna on the Puja muhurat.

Devotees also observe a strict fast on Yamuna Chhath and break it on the next day after observing all the rituals and performing the Puja. Sweets are prepared and offered to Goddess Yamuna and are then distributed as prasad among people. Devotees also worship Lord Krishna on this day.

Yamuna Chhath Significance

Yamuna Chhath is celebrated especially for the devotees of Lord Krishna. According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Yamuna was the consort of Lord Krishna, and hence this festival holds great significance in the Braj region, Mathura and Vrindavan. The auspicious day of Yamuna Chhath commemorates the descent of Goddess Yamuna on Earth and is therefore celebrated as the birth anniversary of Goddess Yamuna.
