A man and his family covered a 2,100‑kilometre road trip from Bengaluru to Bihar to observe the Chhath festival, according to Asianet Newsable.
A resident of Bengaluru embarked on a 2,100‑kilometre drive to Bihar, accompanied by his family, to take part in the Chhath festival. The journey, spanning several states, highlights the lengths devotees travel to fulfill religious obligations.
Chhath, a major Hindu observance dedicated to the Sun God, draws participants from across India, especially those residing far from their ancestral homes. The family’s decision to drive rather than fly underscores a personal commitment to the ritual and a desire to experience the pilgrimage together.
According to Asianet Newsable, the couple’s arrival in Bihar coincided with the festival’s main rituals, allowing them to join local worshippers on the riverbanks. Their story reflects a broader trend of long‑distance travel for religious festivals in the country.
