Chhath Puja is just days away. Preparations have gathered pace to get ghats across the country ready for one of the biggest festivals dedicated to the Sun God.
Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj Ghat is being cleaned, while platforms are being built for devotees to offer prayers.
With thousands expected to visit the Yamuna ghats, there is a sense of urgency in the work. The Hathi Ghat near ITO is also being cleaned to ensure devotees have a clean and accessible space to perform the rituals. Several other ghats across the National Capital are also being readied for the festival.
In Varanasi, the countdown to Chhath Puja comes with an added challenge. Silt and mud left behind by recent floods have turned the cleaning of the ghats into a race against time.
The municipal corporation is working round the clock to clear the debris and get the ghats ready before the festival. Devotees are busy building platforms (bedis) where the Chhath rituals will be performed. They are confident that the arrangements will be completed in time, with the administration working to restore the ghats ahead of the festival.
Dedicated to the Sun God, Chhath Puja is a major festival, particularly for people from Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh, as well as communities from these regions settled in other parts of the country and abroad.
The four-day celebrations will begin on November 13 and end on November 16 this year.
