Welcome to Chhath Parv – 2021 Celebrations
Chhath Parv Samiti and Bhartiya Temple welcomes you to Celebrate Chhath Parv, Lok Utsav – 2021 At Bharatiya Temple in Chalfont, PA – Nov. 9 through Nov. 10, 2021.
In 2020, due to the pandemic we streamed the Chhat Parv online.
Chhat Parv 2019 was a grand success. In almost sub-zero temps, a group of Indian-Americans “Chhath Parv Samiti” devotees gathered at Bharatiya Temple, Chalfont to celebrate Chhath Parv. Some even drove a few hundred miles for the event.
It was an overwhelming response as increasing number of friends and families joined the Chhath Parv Samiti to celebrate the Parv in 2019. This year we look forward to an safe and thankful celebration. See you at Chhath Parv, 2021!

Why do we celebrate Chhath Puja?
Bhartiya Temple Celebrates an ancient Puja of “Surya Dev”, known as Chhath Parv or Surya Shasthi or Chhath Puja. Chhath Parv is a festival celebrated in reverence to the Sun God.
The festival commences with the end of Diwali and end on Shukla Shashthi (6th day of the month of Kartik in the Hindu calendar). The word Chhath is a compound of two words; Chah means 6 stages and Hath refers to the science of Hath Yog (austerity).
The word Chhath refers to the process of consciously obtaining the solar energy through 6 stages involving the methods similar to Hath Yog.
