Chhath Puja, Bihar’s biggest festival started on November 17. The four-day festival, which began with Nahay-Khay (bathe and eat), will end on November 20 with araghya (prayers) to the rising sun.
The Patna district administration has made elaborate arrangements on the river banks to manage mass gathering. Additional force has been deployed on every ghat.
Devotees reached the Ganga ghats early in the morning, took bath and offered prayers to the sun with the river water. They then ate rice, bottle gourd and other vegetables.
