The sun is the centre of the universe. The
sun energises and empowers all living things. The world would not exist without
the sun. There is something magnificent and magnetic about the sun. It is this
brilliance of the sun that is celebrated as Chhath Puja.
Chhath means six. In this case, Chhath Puja
is celebrated on the sixth day of Kartika in the Nepali calendar, i.e. October
or November in the Gregorian calendar.
History reveals that Chhath Puja was
started by Karna, the son of the Sun God. Chhath Puja requires strenuous observance.
People fast for 36 hours without even water. It is a festival of bathing and
worshipping, which follows a period of abstinence and segregation of the
worshiper from the main household for four days. Observing purity is the
mainstay of this festival. There are no priests or middle men involved. Just
the devotee and the sun over four days.
On this holy occasion, send your love to
your dear ones in India with our range of gifts.
Gift a silver or brass kalash so your loved
one can bring home the holy water of the Ganga on this glorious occasion.
Since there is vigorous pujas on all four
days, gift a stunning hand painted marble puja thali. You can also choose puja
thalis with kundan work or thalis made from wood and clay.
Fruits play an important part during the
festival as one limits the content of what they eat. Send a fruit hamper. You
can also couple this with a box of dry fruits.
Gift a portable speaker or a Bluetooth
speaker so your loved ones can listen to and sing along the folk songs that mark
the occasion of Chhath Puja.
Other interesting gifts for Chhath Puja are
sending a wall clock shaped like the sun, a sun shaped gold pendant and a
decorative wall hanging of the sun.
To celebrate the festive season, Giftease is
offering site wide discounts and offers. It doesn’t get easier to send gifts to
your family and friends in India for Chhath Puja.
