In the Gujarati Calendar, Randhan Chhath falls one day before Shitala Satam. This year, Randhan Chhath 2024 is on Saturday, August 24. The most important ritual that is followed on the day of Shitala Satam, is that no fresh food is cooked in the house. The food which is consumed on the day of Shitala Satam should be cold and stale, preferably prepared on the previous day. Hence, most Gujarati families prepare special food on the previous day which is popularly known as Randhan Chhath, the day for preparation for Shitala Satam Puja.
