Patna: The Mahaparava Chhath of Suryopasana is not only a festival of folk faith, but also reduces the distance between people of different religion. The stove on which Chhathvarti Prasad is made for Chhath festival in Bihar is made by Muslim families. Not only this, Muslim women also perform Chhath festival in many districts. Muslim women from many localities of Patna start preparing Chulha for Chhath a week before Chhath festival.

The soil is brought from the Ganges coast to make the stove. Pebbles and stones are extracted from this soil and mixed with straw and water. Stoves are prepared from this clay pot. It is worth noting that the consumption of meat and garlic and onion in the house of the Muslim family of women who make these chulhas is stopped a month in advance. Even after the Ujjwala scheme, earthen chulhas are kept in all the houses in the villages, but this is not the case in Patna. People here have to buy earthen stove in Chhath festival.

Sanija Khatoon, a Muslim woman who sells earthen stoves on Veerchand Patel Marg in Patna, said, "My father-in-law also used to do this work. This work has been done in my house for 40 years. Now, we make stoves for the festival. " Mahatab, who lives in Patna's R Block locality, said that this time the stove makers had a big problem in raising soil, because the floods in Punpun, Ganga and Son rivers could not get soil easily.
