Overview

Chhath Puja for families in Lanka

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.

Lanka is the busy neighbourhood outside the main gate of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Its roads are full of students, teachers, shops and eateries, and the residential colonies around it are home to many university and hospital families.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Lanka

Traffic around the BHU gate is heavy for much of the day; morning slots are usually easier.
Guest houses and rented rooms may not permit a havan, confirm before planning a fire ritual.
A Mahamrityunjaya jaap can be done with an online sankalp if the family cannot leave the hospital.
Assi Ghat is close by for pairing a home puja with a Ganga snan or tarpan.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are busy near the Hanuman temple, so allow extra time on those days.
Book the Pandit well ahead; Chhath is one of the busiest times of the year.
Prepare soop, dauri, thekua, sugarcane and seasonal fruit, or ask us for a samagri list.

Chhath Puja in Lanka: FAQs

Sunset and sunrise arghya times differ by city. Your Pandit confirms them for your ghat, lake or terrace. Popular festival slots in Lanka fill up early, so it helps to enquire on WhatsApp a week or two ahead.

Can a Pandit come to my home in Lanka for Chhath Puja?

Yes. Share your location in Lanka, your preferred date and your family's tradition on WhatsApp. We confirm a Pandit who can come to your home, apartment or venue in and around Lanka, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.

How far in advance should I book Chhath Puja in Lanka?

For popular muhurat dates and festival seasons, it helps to enquire a week or two ahead where possible. For other dates, shorter notice is often manageable, we confirm availability on WhatsApp.

How much does Chhath Puja cost in Varanasi?

The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits and travel within Varanasi. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.

Can I get a Hindi speaking North Indian Pandit for Chhath Puja in Lanka?

Is a Pandit necessary for Chhath Puja?

Many families perform Chhath themselves by tradition. A Pandit helps with the sankalp, the order of rites and the arghya, which is useful for first time vratis or families away from elders.

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.
