Arghya is offered to the rising sun on other days too, but Chhath is the only festival in which there is a tradition of offering arghya to the setting sun also.
This gives the message that after setting there is definitely a rise. There is also a belief behind this, according to which when the Sun sets, he lives with his second wife Pratyusha (the last ray of the Sun), offering Arghya to whom gives the desired results. Arghya is offered to the setting Sun on the Shashthi Tithi of Kartik Shukla, which is this year on 19 November 2023.

In this way, Chhath fast is concluded only after offering Arghya on both these days. But take special care that during Chhath Puja, offer Arghya to Sun God on time. Therefore, know what is the time of evening and Usha Arghya for Chhath Puja in your city. Let us know the time of sunset and sunrise on 19 and 20 November 2023.
