Celebrating Chhath Puja Away From Home
For families living in apartments or overseas, far from natural rivers, observing Chhath Puja at home with full devotion is made easy through modern adaptations.
Step-by-Step Home Setup Guide
- Inflatable Tub / Clean Water Basin: Place a durable inflatable pool or a large clean plastic tub on a sunny balcony, terrace, or courtyard.
- Purifying the Water: Fill the container with clean tap water, then add a few drops of Gangajal along with fresh rose petals.
- Sunlight Positioning: Position the setup so that the sun’s rays from the west at sunset and from the east at sunrise shine directly without any obstructions.
- Sourcing Samagri Online: Purchase bamboo shoots, whole sugarcane, and genuine dry fruits from local Indian markets or diaspora grocery delivery services.
