Under Jitiya Vrat, fasting women observe Nirjal Vrat throughout the day. At the time of fasting at the time of Paran, the Bhagwan takes food only after offering Arghya to the Sun. The end of Jitiya Vrat is usually done on the next day i.e. Navami Tithi. The traditions of Jitiya Vrat are similar to those of Chhath Puja. Jivitputrika Vrat is mainly celebrated in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
