Chhath Puja in Patna: A Complete Guide for 2025
From Ganga Ghats to local ponds — where to offer Arghya, how to navigate road closures, and the best vantage points during Chhath Puja in Patna.
Chhath Puja transforms Patna like no other festival. Every ghat along the Ganga — from Gulbi Ghat to Digha Ghat — glows with thousands of diyas as devotees offer Arghya to Surya Dev.
Best Ghats in Patna
Ganga Ghat near Gandhi Maidan, Kali Ghat, Digha Ghat and Patna City's Gulbi Ghat draw the biggest crowds. For a quieter experience, local ponds in Kankarbagh and Rajendra Nagar are excellent alternatives.
Getting Around
Expect diversions around all major ghats on the evening of Sandhya Arghya. Autos and e-rickshaws stay plentiful but agree on fares in advance. The elderly should be dropped as close to the ghat as possible.
What to Carry
Carry water, a torch, and a small mat. Vendors sell thekua, sugarcane and coconut baskets around every ghat — buying locally supports families who depend on this festive economy.
Chhath is Patna at its most beautiful — devotion, discipline and community spirit on full display.
