Yamuna Chhath Significance

Yamuna Chhath holds great significance in India, especially across the northern states of the country. The festival of Yamuna Chhath is similar in spirit to Chhath Puja, which is dedicated to the Sun God, but here, devotees offer prayers to Maa Yamuna, considering her a Goddess and a life-giving river. The festival is especially important in Mathura and Vrindavan, where the Yamuna River is deeply linked to Lord Krishna’s life and legends.

Many devotees believe that bathing in the Yamuna on this day cleanses sins and brings blessings. Hence, on this day, devotees take a holy dip in the Yamuna River, especially at ghats like Vishram Ghat in Mathura, Kesi Ghat in Vrindavan, and Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi.
