🌾 Chhath Puja on the Banks of the Ganga: An Unforgettable Experience
Celebrated with deep devotion and grandeur, Chhath Puja is one of the most spiritually vibrant festivals of Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Observed on the banks of sacred rivers like the Ganga, the festival pays homage to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya for granting life, health, and prosperity. What makes Chhath truly unforgettable is the breathtaking sight of thousands of devotees standing waist-deep in water during sunrise and sunset, offering arghya (prayers) with fruit-filled baskets and oil lamps. The atmosphere is electric yet serene — filled with folk songs, incense, and unwavering faith. Experiencing Chhath on the ghats of Patna, Varanasi, or Ballia offers a profound connection to India’s cultural and spiritual roots.
