☀️ The Sun God is about to get a royal welcome — Delhi style!
If you thought Diwali was big, wait until you see how Delhi is going all out for Chhath Puja 2025. The city is decking up with over 1000 ghats — yes, one thousand! — to make sure devotees can worship the Sun God with ease and grandeur.
And this year, it’s not just about setting up temporary ponds; it’s about creating a spiritual experience that screams “Delhites know how to celebrate!” 🌞✨
🛶 Ghats, Ghats & More Ghats — The Mega Makeover
The Delhi government has announced the construction of 1,000+ temporary Chhath ghats across the capital. From the banks of the Yamuna to residential colonies, no neighborhood will feel left out.
- Burari Vidhan Sabha area alone will get ghats worth ₹36.9 crore — that’s enough to build a luxury resort, but hey, Sun God deserves the VIP treatment!
- Kaadi Vihar, Tomar Colony, Nathupura D-Block — getting ghats worth ₹17.26 lakh.
- Sant Nagar & Jharoda — ₹18.66 lakh being spent for devotees.
- Devali Vidhan Sabha area — over ₹47.9 lakh going into ghats near M-2 Block, Bandh Road, and Nari Baba Mandir.
- Chhattarpur — plans to spend ₹51.37 lakh for gorgeous ghats.
Even Aya Nagar is joining the celebration with ghats worth ₹58.16 lakh. Malviya Nagar, Okhla Barrage, and Agra Canal areas are also on the map with huge investments.
💡 Fun Fact: The scale is so grand that even wedding planners might want to take notes. Imagine — lighting, sound, decor, and a splash of spiritual vibes.
🏛️ AAP vs BJP — The Politics Behind The Celebration
No big Delhi event is complete without a sprinkle of politics, right? 😉
- AAP has been vocal about supporting Chhath on the Yamuna banks for years but said they faced restrictions earlier due to DDMA and High Court orders.
- This year, under BJP-led governance, permissions have finally rolled out for Yamuna-side celebrations.
- AAP leaders like Saurabh Bharadwaj have expressed surprise (and a little sarcasm) about how rules have suddenly changed now.
Politics aside, it’s good news for devotees — the festival finally gets the space and respect it deserves in the capital.
🌇 Chhath Puja: Not Just a Festival, but an Emotion
Chhath Puja is one of the most soulful festivals celebrated by Purvanchali communities and now loved by many across India. It’s about thanking the Sun God (Surya Dev) for life, health, and prosperity.
The rituals are intense — fasting without water, standing in rivers to offer prayers, and singing soulful folk songs. But for devotees, it’s faith over everything.
This time, Delhi’s grand prep means:
- No more running around to find clean ghats.
- Safer spaces for families.
- Proper lighting and security.
- Access to water tanks, mobile toilets, and medical support.
The government has also allocated crores of rupees to make the experience safe, clean, and grand.
🪔 Chhath Puja 2025: Dates & Vibes
This year, Chhath Puja will see lakhs of devotees gather over four days:
- Nahay Khay — Devotees begin their holy fast after bathing in rivers.
- Kharna — A day of eating simple prasad after fasting.
- Sandhya Arghya — Evening offering to the setting sun.
- Usha Arghya — Morning prayers to the rising sun.
Expect ghats glowing with diyas (lamps), soulful Bhojpuri songs playing in the background, and families coming together to pray for health and prosperity.
💸 Big Budgets, Bigger Faith
Delhi isn’t shying away from spending to make Chhath unforgettable. The budget allocation runs into crores, making it one of the city’s biggest religious infrastructure investments this year.
The idea is simple — when lakhs of people celebrate, the arrangements should match the scale of their devotion. From temporary ponds to lighting setups, barricades, safety teams, and water tanks, everything is being planned.
😎 Why This Matters Beyond Religion
You might think, “It’s just another festival, why the hype?” But here’s the catch —
- Cultural pride: Chhath is not just a Purvanchali festival anymore; it’s becoming a pan-Delhi celebration.
- Tourism boost: Beautiful ghats + vibrant rituals = photo-friendly Instagram content (and local tourism boom).
- Community bonding: The festival brings neighborhoods together, fostering unity.
📰 Fun Political & Social Trivia
- In earlier years, many permissions for Yamuna ghats were denied, citing environmental and safety concerns.
- This time, with changed political dynamics, the red tape has loosened — and the festival is bigger than ever.
- Delhi’s Purvanchali community — a major voter base — will definitely remember this move when elections knock again. 😉
If you thought Chhath Puja was just about standing in water and offering prayers, think again. In Delhi 2025, it’s going to look more like “Faith meets Festival of Lights” — with grand setups, safety, and community vibes!
