The importance of Chhath fast is also mentioned in Rigveda. According to Hindu mythology, the Pandavas had lost all the wealth and all the royal lessons in Chausar. After this, Draupadi had observed Chhath fast to regain the kingdom, due to which all her wishes were fulfilled. On the other hand, according to another belief, Kunti had invoked the Sun God to get a son. Pleased with the worship of Kunti, Sun God fulfilled her wish. Kunti conceived by the radiance of the sun and gave birth to Karna. It is said that Karna used to worship the Sun God by standing in the water every day, due to which he got the power and strength like the sun. At the same time, according to religious beliefs, Karna also fasted for Chhath to please the Sun.
