Overview
Chhath Puja for families in Shivala
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.
Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
