Which is the unique festival of Bihar?

Correct answer: (d) Chhath Puja

Explanation

Chhath Puja is the most important festival of Bihar, and it is called the Mahaparv of Bihar. It is observed on the sixth day of the bright fortnight of the Kartik month, exactly six days after Diwali. On this festival, Surya Dev (Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya are worshipped, and Arghya is offered—first at sunset and the second at sunrise. Diwali, also called the festival of lights, is a major Hindu festival celebrated on the new moon day of the Kartik month. Vishu is the traditional New Year festival of Kerala. It is celebrated on the first day of the Malayalam month Medam and is considered a symbol of good luck for the coming year. Vinayak Chaturthi is celebrated by Hindus across India, including Maharashtra, on the Shukla Chaturthi of the month of Bhadrapada on the occasion of Lord Vinayak’s (Ganesha’s) birth.
