Over 900 ghats prepared for Chhath, other arrangements will be made: Saurabh Bharadwaj
Tuesday, 14 November 2023 () Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj announced the preparation of over 900 Chhath ghats for the upcoming festival, ensuring tents, lighting, sound, and other amenities for devotees. The four-day Chhath Puja, starting on November 17, involves fasting and offering 'arghya' to the Sun God. Despite pollution concerns along the Yamuna river, the Delhi government aims to enhance devotees' experience. The festival, traditionally observed in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, attracts devotees in Delhi-NCR, prompting the creation of temporary ghats in parks and public spaces to facilitate the rituals.
Chhath Puja begins on the sixth day of the Kartik month, generally in October-November. Some people celebrate it in the month of Chaitra also (in April), which is called the Chaiti Chhath. Chhathi maiyya or Mother Chhathi, Sun's sister, is considered an exacting but generous deity. Women came together to celebrate the festival.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for allegedly reducing the number of school holidays during Hindu festivals while increasing those for Muslim festivals. Reports suggest the Bihar education department's 2024 holiday calendar eliminated Hartalika Teej and Jitiya holidays while extending Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha (Bakrid) holidays to three days each. BJP MP Sushil Modi accused the government of an "anti-Hindu" stance, prompting Union Minister Giriraj Singh to claim it was operating on "Islamic religious beliefs." The move sparked outrage, with calls for reinstating Hindu festival holidays.
