Uttar Pradesh: Purvanchal and the ghats of Varanasi

The source includes Gorakhpur, Ballia, Ghazipur, Deoria, and Varanasi in its depiction of Chhath in Purvanchal. It emphasizes the common Bhojpuri cultural environment and points out the area extending 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.

Delhi and NCR: traditions carried into urban neighborhoods
