Pauranik katha

Chhath Puja ka pauranik mahatva bohot gehra hai. Mana jata  hai ki yeh parv Bhagwan Surya aur unki patni Pratha ki aradhana ke liye manaya jata hai. Ek prasiddh katha ke anusaar, jab Maharaj Shreyans ne apni patni ke garbhvati hone ki khushi manayi, tab unki patni ne Bhagwan Surya se prarthana ki ki unke putra mein buddhimatta aur shakti ho. Bhagwan Surya ne unhein Chhathi Mata ke madhyam se aashirwad diya.
