Overview

Chhath Puja for families in Katra

Chhath Puja is one of the most revered festivals of Bihar, Purvanchal and Varanasi. Over four days in the month of Kartik, the vratis worship Surya Dev and Chhathi Maiya with fasting, purity and offerings made at the water's edge, most famously on the ghats of the Ganga.

Katra is one of the busiest market areas of Prayagraj, close to Allahabad University. Its shops, coaching centres and lanes of homes bring together long settled trading families, working households and students from across eastern Uttar Pradesh.
