Chhath Puja in Bangalore
Chhath Puja, the four day worship of Surya and Chhathi Maiya, has grown in Bangalore along with the city's Bihari, Jharkhandi, Purvanchali and Nepali families. The vrat moves from Nahay Khay and Kharna to the evening arghya to the setting sun and the dawn arghya to the rising sun, with thekua, fruits and sugarcane in bamboo soop.

Bangalore
What is Chhath Puja?
The four day vrat to Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya, with arghya to the setting and rising sun from a river ghat, observed with great devotion in Varanasi.
The vratins themselves lead most of Chhath, and many families look for a Pandit for the sankalp, the katha and guidance on the arghya, especially in a new city where the elders who usually guide it are far away.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
Why Families Choose Bangalore for Chhath Puja
Families away from Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh often find it hardest to recreate the ghat. In Bangalore, residents' groups and associations organise Chhath at some lakes where arrangements are permitted, and many apartment communities now build a temporary water tank in a common area so vratins can stand in water for the arghya.
Chhath falls a few days after Deepavali, when Bangalore's weather is usually mild but can be wet from the northeast monsoon. A backup plan for rain is sensible.

Local Traditions & Timing
- Check with your association or local organisers where arghya is permitted this year; do not assume any lake is open.
- Sunrise arghya means leaving home well before dawn; arrange transport and gate access the night before.
- Apartment communities often need approval for a temporary tank and a clean up plan.
- Sugarcane, soop and certain fruits may need to be ordered in advance from markets like KR Market or Russell Market.
