What is Chhath Puja
Chhath is a devotional festival of sun worship and gratitude. Devotees observe cleanliness, prepare prasad like thekua and kheer, and offer evening and morning arghya to Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya, praying for health, happiness, and prosperity.
How the community is planning
This is a community-led celebration with open arms for newcomers. The focus is on simple, collective arrangements so families can participate without stress. If you are joining, you can bring prasad items, fruits, flowers, a diya, and a small soop or basket. Comfortable traditional attire and a shawl for the morning arghya are helpful.
A note from the organisers
“We welcome you. Come and be part of this beautiful community celebration. We are here to support with logistics so that you can focus on devotion and togetherness.”
Join in
If you plan to attend or would like to help with prasad, setup, or clean-up, please confirm with the hosts in advance so arrangements are smooth for everyone.
Jai Chhathi Maiya.
May the blessings of Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya bring peace, good health, and prosperity to all who gather.
