Chhath Mahaparv Trikal Surya Murti Chadhava & Suraj Kund Arghya
In Bihar's Aurangabad district lies a small town called Deo. At its heart stands a Sun temple unlike any other in India. This temple does not face east; it faces west. And right in front of it lies the sacred Suraj Kund, whose waters are believed to have cured a king of an incurable disease. This is regarded as the birthplace of Chhath Puja, where the thousand-year-old tradition of this grand festival began.
📿 Trikaal Murti Chadhava - Invoking Surya Dev in His Three Divine Forms: The scriptures mention a highly significant shloka:
"Udaye Brahmaswaroopo'yam Madhyahnetu Maheshwaram |
Astamane Swayam Vishnum Trayimurtim Divakaram ||"
Meaning: At sunrise, Surya Dev is Brahma; at noon, He is Maheshwar (Shiva); and at sunset, He is Vishnu. He is the divine Trimurti Divakar. These are not merely philosophical words; they reflect an experience cherished by millions of Chhath devotees. The morning Sun signifies new beginnings, the midday Sun burns away obstacles, and the evening Sun blesses the home with happiness and prosperity. Trikaal Murti Chadhava means offering to Surya Dev in all three divine forms across all three phases of the day. Through one offering, seek the blessings of Brahma, the protection of Maheshwar and the grace of Vishnu.
🌊 Suraj Kund Arghya - The Sacred Waters Believed to Have Cured a King:
According to a mythological legend, King Aila suffered from leprosy. While wandering through a forest, he came across a divine Kund. The moment he came into contact with its waters, his disease was cured. When the Kund was cleaned, idols of Surya Dev emerged from its waters. The king built a temple, and that night, Surya Dev himself turned His face towards the west. When the deity chooses the direction Himself, the sacred land becomes a Siddha Kshetra. That very Suraj Kund still exists at the same location, believed to retain its divine power. During Chhath, lakhs of devotees stand in this Kund and offer Arghya to Surya Dev. It is believed that offering Arghya at Suraj Kund fulfils one's wishes.
