On the auspicious occasion of Chhath Mahaparv, Delhi’s Minister for Social Welfare, Ravinder Indraj Singh, visited several Chhath Ghats across the Bawana Assembly to extend his greetings to the devotees. He also participated in the Sandhya Arghya (evening offering) and joined the devotees in offering prayers to Lord Surya (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya. Devotees and members of the Purvanchal Chhath Puja Seva Samiti expressed their gratitude to the Delhi Government, appreciating the excellent facilities and enhanced safety arrangements at the ghats this year. While offering prayers at the Model Ghat located at Lake Park, Rohini Sector 20, Shri Ravinder Indraj said that Chhath Mahaparv beautifully represents the rich cultural heritage of Sanatan Dharma and the spirit of national unity. He added that this festival is not merely an act of Sun worship but a symbol of discipline, cleanliness, and community harmony.
The Cabinet Minister stated that Chhath has evolved from being a traditional festival to becoming a grand cultural celebration in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, the people of Delhi are witnessing the most magnificent celebration of Chhath ever held in the national capital. The Delhi Government has ensured comprehensive arrangements including cleanliness, lighting, drinking water, security, and medical assistance at all ghats so that no devotee faces any inconvenience.
Delhi are inspired by the vision

The Social Welfare Minister inspected various Chhath Ghats located at Rohini Sectors 24, 25, and 26, Pansali Ghat, Bawana JJ Colony (Blocks A, F, G, and L), Jain Colony Ghat, and Panch Mandir Ghat at Shahbad Dairy, where thousands of devotees performed rituals with devotion.
