About this file: Written content in Garo is limited and spelling varies, so these wishes pair the familiar Garo greeting Mitela with English text, which is widely read in Garo-speaking communities. English meanings are given below each wish. Chhath isn't a traditional festival of this community; the wishes are framed for greeting Bihari and Purvanchali friends and neighbours.
- Mitela! Warm Chhath Puja wishes to all our Bihari and Purvanchali friends in Tura and Shillong. A friendly greeting for friends who celebrate Chhath in the Garo Hills and Meghalaya.
- Mitela : may the rising sun over the Garo Hills bring you health, hope and a bright year ahead. 🌅 A wish tied to the morning sun over the hills.
- Far from home but never alone : Mitela, and a joyful Chhath to you and your family. For migrant friends spending the festival away from Bihar.
- Mitela! Wishing good health and happiness to every home. A simple closing wish.
