Important if you are coordinating with family in India:
Chhath Puja falls on November 10, 2029 in Los Angeles, but on November 11, 2029 in India.
Hindu observances are tied to the tithi at your local sunrise (or to a local moment such as sunset or midnight),
so the calendar date legitimately shifts by a day across time zones. Both are correct for their own location.
What Chhath Puja means
Religious significance
The great vrat of Surya and Chhathi Maiya — thanksgiving to the visible god, the Sun, for life itself. Devotees (vratis) keep a 36-hour waterless fast, standing waist-deep in rivers and ponds to offer arghya to the setting sun this evening and to the rising sun tomorrow at dawn.
Cultural significance
The soul-festival of Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern UP and the Maithil and Bhojpuri diaspora worldwide — riverbanks become seas of lamps, sugarcane, thekua and fruit-laden soops, with folk songs to Chhathi Maiya. Its four days run: Nahay Khay, Kharna, Sandhya Arghya (today), Usha Arghya.
Good to know
This date marks Sandhya Arghya, the evening offering; the fast concludes after Usha Arghya at sunrise tomorrow. Chhath is famed for its rigor and purity — no idols, no priests required: only the sun, water and discipline.
