Randhan Chhath Significance

Randhan Chhath is a traditional Gujarati festival celebrated primarily by women, observed a day before Sheetala Satam, during the Hindu month of Shravana. It is deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual practices related to food, purity, and devotion.

As all sorts of cooking are prohibited on the day of Shitala Satam, most Gujarati families make food arrangement for the next day on Randhan Chhath. Due to an important day for cooking, the day has got its name Randhan Chhath i.e. cooking on the sixth day.
