Summary
- Patna has prepared 102 locations for Chhath Puja devotees.
- Water tankers are supplying Ganga water to ponds and homes.
- Parks and zoo lake also feature arrangements for the festival.
The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) has finalized preparations for the Chhath festival, ensuring 102 designated locations are ready for devotees to offer arghya. These sites encompass permanent and temporary ponds, parks, temple grounds, and public spaces, in addition to the Ganga ghats.
To facilitate the rituals, PMC has deployed over 15 water tankers to supply sacred Ganga water to ponds and neighborhoods free of charge. Preparations include barricading, lighting, and painting at all identified spots.
Changing rooms are available for devotees' privacy, and sandbags reinforce temporary ponds for safety. Major parks, including the zoo lake, Eco Park, and Harding Park, are also set up for the festival. Chhath Puja will continue with 'kharna,' followed by arghya to the setting and rising sun on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
