: New Delhi: In a major boost for Chhath Puja celebrations, Delhi has developed an 11-kilometre-long Chhath ghat along the Munak Canal, offering a dedicated space for devotees, particularly those from the Purvanchal region. The new facility is expected to make festival arrangements more convenient for thousands of worshippers who gather to offer prayers to the setting and rising Sun.
The ghat has been developed along the Munak Canal stretch near Shalimar Bagh. The initiative is being seen as an important step towards strengthening arrangements for Chhath Puja, one of the most significant festivals celebrated by people from eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and neighbouring regions.
Focus on Better Facilities for Devotees The extended ghat is intended to provide greater space for devotees to perform traditional rituals, including offering Arghya to the Sun God. The development is also expected to help manage crowds and reduce pressure on smaller Chhath celebration sites across the capital.
Government Highlights Cultural Significance The development has drawn attention from Delhi's political leadership, including Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and BJP leaders. The initiative reflects the administration's focus on improving public facilities for major religious and cultural celebrations.
With the new 11-kilometre stretch, devotees are expected to have more accessible arrangements for observing Chhath Puja with their families and communities.
