ZEE Biskope brings Jai Chhathi Maai

Scheduled on 18 Nov at 7 pm, Jai Chhathi Maai will feature Bhojpuri’s superstars Nirahua, Amrapali, Chintu Pandey, Smriti Sinha and a whole galore of Bhojpuri stars.

Chhath Puja, also known as Surya Shashthi, is an ancient Hindu Vedic festival celebrated six days after Diwali. It is one of the most popular festivals in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. During Chhath Puja, devotees observe a challenging 36-hour fast to pay homage to Surya Dev and Chhathi Maai. They offer arghya (prasad) to seek blessings for a prosperous life, the fulfillment of wishes, the well-being of children, and support for the poor. This festival not only brings joy but also promotes family bonding. Entertainment plays a significant role in enhancing the celebrations, with devotional songs, dances, and performances being an integral part of the festivities. ZEE Biskope, a favorite channel among viewers, has always provided curated and relevant content through World TV Premieres, movie festivals, and viewer engagement initiatives.

Jai Chhathi Maai is a musical performance that represents the deep-rooted cultural traditions of the region. It showcases the pride and uniqueness of the beloved Chhath festival. After its successful run on ZEE Ganga, this popular show will now be featured on ZEE Biskope on 18th November at 7 pm.

This fast is considered the toughest as it requires abstaining from food and water for 36 hours. Despite facing criticism from society and his family, Nirahua's sincerity and devotion earn him respect when the true reason behind his decision is revealed. Watch Jai Chhathi Maai to witness Nirahua and Amrapali's journey during this Chhath festival. The event will be filled with outstanding performances from Bho
