Patna: Today the festival of Chhath is being celebrated with great pomp in the whole country. Dev Surya Temple located in Aurangabad district of Bihar has been the centre of faith for Suryopasana for centuries. Generally, the Sun Temple is east-facing (opening in the east direction), but Tretayugin is more important due to the temple being west-facing (opening in the west direction).

The importance of this temple can be gauged from the fact that lakhs of devotees reach here every year for Chhatra and Chhath fast in Kartik month. There is a belief about this famous temple with unprecedented architecture that it was built by Lord Vishwakarma himself. The structure of the temple built of black and brown stones matches the Jagannath temple in Puri, Odisha.
