For Bihari migrants, Chhath Puja is more than a festival—it sustains cultural ties and offers a sense of home away from home.
Chhath Puja is a major festival in Bihar, celebrated with devotion and rituals. For migrants, it remains a vital link to their roots.
Even when living in other states or abroad, Bihari communities gather to perform the traditional rituals, offering prayers to the Sun God and observing the fasting rituals.
The festival provides a sense of belonging and continuity, helping migrants cope with the challenges of living away from their native land.
Local community centers and temples often organize Chhath celebrations, ensuring that the cultural heritage is passed on to younger generations.
