On the first day of Chhath Puja, also known as Nahay Khay, ladies who attend the event do a puja and eat only saatvik cuisine, which is simple, pure, and vegetarian. They consume rice, gramme, lentils, gourd, pumpkin, and other vegetables with minimum seasoning. The treasured Chhath prasad is prepared on a precisely clean burner, and only fasting devotees are allowed to prepare it.
