Chhathi Maiya 

Chhath is one of India’s most ancient and nature-centric festivals. It is a celebration of the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya, symbolising gratitude to the cosmic forces that sustain life. Rooted in the spiritual soil of Bihar and the Gangetic plains, the festival carries a universal message: that humanity must live in harmony with nature.
Sandeep Kumar Dubey—Advocate of the Supreme Court of India and Chairman of the Chhathi Maiya Foundation—has taken this timeless tradition into the 21st century with a bold vision: “Global Chhath.” Through the Foundation’s flagship project “Chhath Connect – A Digital Global Initiative,” he is uniting devotees across continents and presenting Chhath as a heritage of all humanity.
Vision and Purpose
Dubey believes that Chhath is not confined to any one state or community. It is an ecological and spiritual practice that belongs to the whole world.
