Chhath Puja in Kolkata: Local Traditions

Kolkata has one of the oldest Marwari communities in India, centred on Burrabazar and Posta and now spread to Alipore, Ballygunge, Salt Lake and Lake Town, and these families want Hindi speaking Pandits for Diwali Lakshmi Puja, Chopda Pujan, Sundarkand Path and weddings in Rajasthani vidhi. Bihari and UP families in Howrah, Liluah and the industrial belt along the Hooghly book Chhath, Satyanarayan Katha and Mundan, and the Hooghly ghats fill for Chhath every year.

  2. 2Kharna. On the second day the vrati fasts through the day and in the evening prepares kheer of jaggery and rice with roti, which is offered and then taken as prasad before the nirjala fast begins.
  3. 3Sankalp and preparation of the daura. The Pandit guides the sankalp in the family's name. Thekua, fruits, sugarcane and other offerings are arranged in bamboo soops and a daura.
  4. 4Sandhya arghya. On the third evening the family goes to the ghat, and the vrati stands in the water to offer arghya to the setting sun with milk and water, while songs of Chhath are sung.
  5. 5Usha arghya and parana. Before dawn on the fourth day the family returns to the ghat for arghya to the rising sun. The vrati then breaks the fast and prasad is shared.

Chhath Puja in Kolkata: FAQs

If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.

When is Chhath Puja in 2026, and when should I book it in Kolkata?

The key dates are: Nahay Khay on Fri, 13 Nov, 2026; Kharna on Sat, 14 Nov, 2026; Sandhya Arghya on Sun, 15 Nov, 2026; Usha Arghya and Parana on Mon, 16 Nov, 2026. Sunset and sunrise arghya times differ by city. Your Pandit confirms them for your ghat, lake or terrace. Popular festival slots in Kolkata fill up early, so it helps to enquire on WhatsApp a week or two ahead.

How do I book a Pandit for Chhath Puja in Kolkata?

Tap Book on this page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, your address in Kolkata and your family tradition. We confirm a Pandit, the vidhi and the dakshina before you book. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. There is no payment to enquire.

What is the cost of Chhath Puja in Kolkata?

Chhath Puja in Kolkata starts from about ₹8,100 for one Pandit and around four days, with the pandit present for the arghya as agreed. The final dakshina depends on the number of Pandits, the chant count, and travel within Kolkata. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share an exact quote on WhatsApp.

Can I get a Hindi speaking Pandit for Chhath Puja in Kolkata?

Yes. Pandits in Kolkata speak Bengali, Hindi, Marwari and Bhojpuri. Tell us the language you want the puja explained in and whether you follow North Indian or local vidhi, and we match the Pandit.

Do you send Pandits to Burrabazar, Posta, Salt Lake and New Town?

Yes. Pandits come to homes across Kolkata, including Burrabazar, Posta, Salt Lake, New Town, Howrah and Ballygunge, and nearby towns on request. Share your address and we confirm travel.

Will the Pandit bring the samagri for Chhath Puja?

Samagri is not included in the dakshina. The Pandit sends the Chhath Puja samagri list in advance; you can buy it yourself, or Pandit ji can arrange it in Kolkata at an additional cost, agreed after discussion.

Do we need a Pandit for Chhath Puja?

Chhath is mainly performed by the family itself. A Pandit is helpful for the sankalp, the katha and guidance on the vidhi, especially for first time vratis.

Which ghat in Varanasi is good for Chhath arghya?

Many ghats fill with families during Chhath. Share where you are staying and we will suggest a convenient ghat and the best time to arrive.

Can Chhath be observed at home instead of a river?

Yes. Families away from a river often make a small water tank or use a clean pond or terrace setup for the arghya, following the same sequence.
