Indian Railways shared a complete list of Chhath Special Train. Chhath Puja is the most important festival of Bihar. The popularity of this festival has crossed national borders and is celebrated in parts of abroad too. The festival is dedicated to the sun god Surya.
According to legend, Chhath Puja stems from the beginning of the Vedic time when the sages stayed in a state of fasting for days and carried out the ritual with mantras derived from the Rigveda. There is a belief that Chhath puja was celebrated through Karna, who was the child of Lord Surya and the King of Anga Desh (which is present day Bhagalpur in Bihar). According to another story, Pandavas and Draupadi were believed to have performed the Puja to conquer difficulties in their lives and to regain their kingdom. For those from Purvanchal, the Puja is thought of as Chhath Mahaparva.
