Celebrating Chhath Puja Away From Home
For families residing in apartments or abroad away from natural rivers, celebrating Chhath Puja at home with full devotion is simple with modern adaptations.
Step-by-Step Home Setup Guide
- Inflatable Tub / Clean Water Basin: Set up a sturdy inflatable pool or large clean plastic container on a sunny balcony, terrace, or courtyard.
- Purifying the Water: Fill the container with clean tap water and add a few drops of Gangajal and fresh rose petals.
- Sunlight Positioning: Place the setup where the setting (west) and rising (east) sun rays fall directly without obstructions.
- Sourcing Samagri Online: Order bamboo soops, whole sugarcane, and authentic dry fruits from local Indian stores or diaspora grocery delivery portals.
