The Delhi government has announced plans to construct a 5-acre Chhath ghat along the Yamuna River, featuring fountains, landscaped gardens and modern amenities to cater to devotees during the festival.
The Delhi administration has unveiled a proposal to develop a 5‑acre Chhath ghat on the banks of the Yamuna River, aimed at providing a dedicated space for devotees during the annual Chhath festival.
The planned complex will include water‑feature fountains, landscaped green belts, seating areas and a pavilion for cultural performances, according to officials.
Experts say the new ghat will enhance the city’s religious tourism and offer a safer, cleaner environment for worshippers compared to the current makeshift arrangements.
Construction is expected to begin in the next fiscal year, with completion targeted before the 2025 Chhath celebrations.
