A new pond is being constructed at Panchmukhi Shiv Temple in Mohali to facilitate Chhath Puja rituals, with work slated for completion before the festival.
The management of Panchmukhi Shiv Temple in Mohali has approved the construction of a dedicated pond to support the upcoming Chhath Puja celebrations. The initiative aims to provide devotees with a proper water body for the traditional offerings and sunrise rituals that are central to the festival.
Work on the pond began this week, with local contractors hired to excavate and line the area according to religious specifications. The temple committee expects the structure to be ready well before the Chhath Puja dates, ensuring that worshippers can perform the required rites without logistical constraints.
Community members have welcomed the project, noting that a permanent pond will reduce dependence on temporary arrangements and improve the overall sanctity of the temple grounds. Officials also indicated that the pond will be maintained regularly to keep the water clean for ritual use.
The temple has also announced a Tulsi marriage ceremony scheduled for the 21st of the month, underscoring the site's role as a hub for various Hindu customs during the festive period.
