Usha Arghya marks the fourth and final day of Chhath Puja. On this occasion, devotees offer arghya to the rising Sun God during the morning hours. Once the prayers are completed, they eat prasad and break their fast.

According to religious beliefs, devotees who observe Chhath Puja with true devotion receive the blessings of Chhathi Maiya for the long life of their children and the happiness and prosperity of their families.
