For the 2026 Chhath festival, Patna Municipal Corporation has set up over 100 pond parks with Ganga water mixed, allowing devotees to offer arghya without visiting the river ghats.
The Chhath festival, a major Hindu observance dedicated to the Sun God, is set to be celebrated in Patna this year with unprecedented convenience for devotees.
In a move to ease the burden on pilgrims, the Patna Municipal Corporation has prepared more than 100 pond parks across the city. These parks have been specially designed to accommodate the ritual of offering arghya.
Ganga water has been mixed into the pond water, ensuring that the sanctity of the ritual is maintained even away from the riverbanks.
With this initiative, devotees no longer need to travel to the crowded Ganga ghats to perform their rites, making the festival more accessible and less congested.
