Key Ghats and Artificial Ponds
- Yamuna Riverbanks (ITO & Kalindi Kunj): Traditional riverfront locations with heavy police deployment and official staging.
- Model Artificial Ponds: Thousands of clean, municipal-built water pits constructed in public parks across Burari, Dwarka, Rohini, and Mayur Vihar to offer safe, eco-friendly Arghya options.
