Patna Municipal Corporation has started a Rs 19.34 crore plan to prepare 231 ghats for Chhath Puja 2026. The work adds barricades, lighting, parking, temporary ponds, toilets and signboards before large devotee crowds arrive.
If your family travels to Bihar for Chhath, the ghats should offer safer access, parking and clean toilets this year. It also shows how cities scale basic infrastructure, like lighting and sanitation, ahead of mass gatherings.
Track the chief minister's reported ghat review visit on October 28 for updates on access and safety arrangements.
