Kharna is the second day of the Chhath Puja festival, observed with deep devotion and austerity by the Hindu community, primarily in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and parts of Nepal.

After the initial day of Nahay Khay, Chhath Kharna brings devotees closer to the spiritual discipline required for the festival, as they observe a strict day-long fast without food or water, which they break only in the evening with a special meal.

In the evening of Chhath Kharna, devotees prepare the prasad (sacred offering) for Kharna, which typically includes "kheer" (a rice pudding made with jaggery and rice) and "roti" (a type of flatbread). This simple, pure meal is cooked in earthen or bronze pots, emphasizing purity and tradition. The kheer and roti are offered to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya, and then consumed as prasad by the devotees and shared among family members. The meal is prepared with great care and cleanliness, often using wood fire to maintain the authenticity and sanctity of the ritual.

The evening meal marks the end of the Kharna fast and signifies the devotee’s commitment to continue the rigorous fasting for the remaining two days of the festival. After Kharna, devotees observe a 36-hour nirjala vrat (fasting without water) until the final morning offerings. This unbroken fast is considered highly auspicious and a powerful act of devotion, believed to bring blessings of health, prosperity, and happiness to the devotee's family. It also reflects the immense self-discipline and dedication required for Chhath Puja.
Kharna is a deeply spiritual event that unites families and communities. After offering the prasad, devotees often invite friends and neighbours to partake in it, symbolizing a spirit of sharing and unity. The night after Kharna is filled with prayers and preparations for the Sandhya Arghya the following day, where devotees will make the first offering to the setting sun. This day of Kharna, through its austerity and rituals, strengthens the bond between devotees and the divine, paving the way for the culminating worship of the Sun God in the days that follow.
