Even after the birth of children, this goddess Chhathi Maiya is worshiped on the sixth day.
Is Chhath festival celebrated without a Pandit or priest?
The most important thing about Chhath Mahaparva is that no pundit or priest is required for this puja. The devotee observing fast on Chhath starts the fast with complete purity and worships Lord Surya and Chhathi Maiya.
Anyone can be fasting. Female, male, married, unmarried or widow or widower. There is a lot of simplicity in fasting, no difficult mantra is required. Just surrender your will to God and request him.
In your own words with your pure feelings. There is no need of any ritual in puja. Some lamps are lit, incense sticks are lit and some flowers are offered if available. Tekua made of flour, jaggery and any seasonal fruit is offered to the Lord. The devotee does all this himself and does not need a priest. Yes, but family and neighbors participate in this puja.
