Devotees observing the 36-hour fast of Chhath will have to show their double dose vaccination certificate before entering the Jhulelal Ghat and standing in knee-deep water to offer ‘arghya’.
Akhil Bharatiya Bhojpuri Samaj president Prabhunath Rai, who is also the organiser of the festival at Jhulelal Ghat, took part in a cleanliness drive along with cabinet minister Brijesh Pathak on Monday.
Several volunteers also took part in the cleanliness drive ahead of Chhath festivities from November 8-11.
Over 180 Bhojpuri artists from Delhi, Lucknow Bihar, Mumbai will perform at the ghat during Chhath.
“The confirmation of a few guests is awaited. The performance will go on for 18 hours. Devotees coming to offer prayers will have to undergo temperature check, wear masks and show their certificate of full vaccination. We will ensure norms are followed,” said Rai.
Every year hundreds of devotees flock to the river banks with their families to perform Chhath rituals and offer prayers. Many people make artificial ponds at their homes or in parks for performing puja.
The festival will begin with the ‘Nahaye-Khaye’ ritual on November 8 and culminate on November 11.
