Significance of Randhan Chhath

Randhan Chhath is not an independent festival but an integral part of the Shitala Satam observation. Devotees usually use this day to prepare for Shitala Satam. On the day of Shitala Satam, it is a common practice not to cook fresh food but to have pre-cooked cold food. On the occasion of Randhan Chhath, people make food arrangements and cook large batches of meals like Theplas, fasting aloo sabzi, etc. In fact, the name Randhan Chhath translates to cooking on the sixth day.

Those who observe the Chhath fasting also abstain from having any milk or milk products and only consume fasting food like sago, fresh fruits, etc. Randhan Chhath gives people the option to spend some quality time with their family as they prep food and prepare for the celebration for Satam. We hope that this Randhan Chhath fills your life with happiness and prosperity. Happy Randhan Chhath 2021.
