The first story of Chhath is related to the Chhathi Ma or the Goddess of Chhath. According to the Markandeya Purana, the origin of life began from a female cell, known as Prakriti (Nature). She divided herself into six parts and her sixth part is considered to be the form of mother who protects children from all ills.
