According to Hindu mythology, Lord Rama and his wife Sita observed a fast together and offered puja to Lord Surya in the month of Kartik in Shukla Paksha during their coronation. It is believed that Chhath Puja became an important festival since then and the Sun's energy came to symbolise prosperity, well-being and a cure against diseases.
