Patna Prepares Dedicated Routes and Parking for Chhat Puja on the Ganges

Chhat Puja, a major Hindu festival celebrated on the banks of the Ganges, draws hundreds of thousands of devotees to Patna every year. To accommodate the influx, the district administration has mapped out specific entry and exit routes along the ghats, complete with signage and crowd control measures.
The authorities have also earmarked several parking lots on the riverbank, with a total capacity of approximately 3,000 vehicles. Security checkpoints and traffic police will monitor these areas to ensure smooth flow.
These preparations aim to reduce congestion and enhance safety for pilgrims, who traditionally gather early in the morning for the puja rituals.
Officials say the coordinated effort will make the experience more orderly and secure for all participants.
