Celebration of Chhath:

This story is from Dewasur Sangram. When the gods were defeated in this war, Aditi, the mother of the gods, worshiped the sixth mother in the forests of the god to get a son. Pleased with the worship of Mother Aditi, the sixth mother gave her the blessings of a mighty son.

After this, this son of Mata Aditi gave victory to the gods on the Asuras. According to this legend, just as the Sixth Mother had prevented the suffering of Mother Aditi, in the same way, fasting on this day and worshiping the Sixth Mother relieve all sorrows.
