Chhath Puja 2025: Chhath Puja is a great festival of Sun worship and folk faith. This year Chhath Puja will start with Nahay-Khay on 25th October, which will end with Usha Arghya on 28th October. This holy festival lasts for four days, in which the devotees observe a waterless fast for a total of 36 hours.
This festival has special significance in many states of India, which include states like Bihar, Jharkhand and northern Uttar Pradesh. In this fast, Lord Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya are especially worshipped.
Every cloth, utensil and material used in this puja has its own special significance. One of these is Soup or Supa, which is considered an important part of the puja, but people often have a question in their mind whether it will be auspicious to use brass Supa or bamboo Supa in Chhath Puja?
Let us know the religious significance behind this.
Bamboo Supa
Women keep the fast of Chhath Puja for the growth, success and good health of their children. Bamboo Supa has been used in Chhath Puja since ancient times. It is considered completely natural and pure.
Many people believe that just as bamboo grows 60 feet tall rapidly in 8 weeks, similarly consuming soup made from it during fasting also brings rapid progress in the life of the child.
When the devotees offer Arghya by arranging thekua, fruits, and other offerings in a bamboo bowl, it is believed that they are expressing their devotion towards nature and the Sun God in the purest form.
Importance of Brass Supa
The tradition of soup and Daura made from bamboo has been important among people of every class since ancient times. But, in modern times, many devotees have started using brass soup plates, utensils and puja pots.
In the scriptures, yellow material is considered a symbol of Sun God and brass or Phulha utensils are also yellow, due to which during Chhath fast, the devotee can offer Arghya to Lord Sun in a brass vessel. If there is a brass Supa in the house, then washing it with pure water and using it in worship is also considered very auspicious.
Which Supa is more auspicious?
Both the supers have their own importance. Bamboo Supa is a symbol of nature, tradition and reverence, while Brass Supa is a symbol of splendor and prosperity. If you worship in a traditional way, then bamboo Supa will be best.
At the same time, if you want to include modernity along with purity, then brass Supa also gives auspicious results. Therefore, you can use any soup according to your faith and financial condition.
