Bihar: homecoming and community preparation
The Bihar article frames Chhath as a deeply felt homecoming, with families returning from elsewhere to participate. It names Gandhi Ghat and Digha Ghat in Patna and describes neighborhood efforts to prepare routes and riverbanks.
Its strongest theme is collective participation: families, volunteers and neighbors supporting the observance. The named ghats are part of the source narrative. Current permissions, facilities and crowd arrangements still need confirmation through local notices.

The source places Gorakhpur, Ballia, Ghazipur, Deoria and Varanasi within its account of Chhath in Purvanchal. It describes the shared Bhojpuri cultural setting and highlights the stretch from Assi Ghat to Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi.
The guide also discusses local song traditions and celebrations in cities such as Lucknow and Kanpur. Its descriptions are cultural background rather than confirmation of this year's facilities, and references to boats are not safety recommendations.
