On this day, after bathing the child, new clothes are put on him and worship is done. On the day of Chhathi, Shashthi Mata i.e. Shashthi Deeti is worshipped with rituals. According to beliefs, Shashthi Devi is called Adhishtatri Devi and due to her grace, the dead son of King Priyavrat has come back to life. Therefore, the child's Chhathi is worshipped and his good health is wished. Similarly, after the birth of Lord Krishna, his Chhathi is also worshipped and Kadhi-rice is offered to Kanha ji.
