The sacred festival of Chhath Puja begins with Nahay Khay, a ritual that symbolises purity, devotion, and new beginnings. This year, Nahay Khay 2025 will be celebrated on Saturday, October 25, across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Nepal.
On this day, devotees take a holy dip in rivers or ponds like the Ganga, Kosi, or Son, and prepare a simple sattvic meal made with rice, pumpkin, and gram dal. This marks the start of their four-day spiritual journey devoted to the Sun God (Surya Dev) and Chhathi Maiya. To spread the joy and light of this divine occasion, here are heartfelt Nahay Khay 2025 wishes in English and Hindi, and Chhath Puja images to share with your loved ones.
The meaning of Nahay Khay in Chhath Puja
In Hindu tradition, Nahay Khay represents the purification of body and mind before offering prayers. It is believed that eating clean, vegetarian food after a sacred bath helps align the devotee’s energy with divine vibrations, inviting health, prosperity, and positive energy into the household.
