Akshara’s question was on the change in the religious customs of Chhath in the society and the participation of daughters. Thoughts on the participation of daughters – Is there a need for change in Chhath Puja?
Akshara wrote in her post, “Today’s society does not differentiate between daughters and sons. In this changing era, we should consider whether the festival of Chhath cannot be celebrated in those houses where there is no son?” This question of Akshara Singh shows the equality of daughters and the need for change in the customs of Chhath Puja.
Akshara Singh also requested the society in this post that in this changing time, we should pay attention to whether the tradition of daughters carrying the daura of Chhath Puja cannot be accepted. Akshara said that this year, she herself is observing Chhath fast for the first time, and that is why this question has emerged deeply in her mind.
People’s reaction – Daughters can also follow all traditions
Akshara’s thoughtful post received tremendous response from people on social media. Someone said, “You are absolutely right, Akshara ji, today there is no difference between a son and a daughter. A son can perform rituals, and a daughter can also perform them.” At the same time, someone wrote, “Now the time has come that daughters should also be given full participation in the rituals of Chhath Puja.”
