Overview
Chhath Puja for families in Sarnath
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.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

Popular festival slots in Sarnath fill up early, so it helps to enquire on WhatsApp a week or two ahead.
Can a Pandit come to my home in Sarnath for Chhath Puja?
Yes. Share your location in Sarnath, 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 Sarnath, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.
How far in advance should I book Chhath Puja in Sarnath?
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 Sarnath?

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.
