For this year's Chhath festival, nine tankers carrying Ganga water were dispatched from Ramrekha Ghat in Buxar to Aurangabad, where the water will be mixed and used at various ghats and temples.
In preparation for the Chhath Mahaprav, nine tankers loaded with water from the sacred Ganga were sent from Ramrekha Ghat in Buxar to the city of Aurangabad. The convoy left early in the morning to ensure the water reaches the destination well before the main puja rituals begin.
The Ganga water will be mixed with local water sources at several key locations, including the Dev Surya Temple and other prominent ghats, allowing devotees to perform the traditional arghya offering with the holy river water.
State officials and local religious committees coordinated the operation, emphasizing the cultural importance of using Ganga water for Chhath rites. The initiative aims to facilitate a smooth and reverent worship experience for thousands of pilgrims gathering in Aurangabad this year.
Distribution points have been set up along the riverbanks, where volunteers will assist devotees in accessing the blended water for their offerings, ensuring that the sanctity of the ritual is maintained throughout the festival period.
