Counting down to Chhath Puja 2026
Your local time · Sunday 15 November 2026
Chhath Puja follows Shashthi of Shukla Paksha in Kartik, six days after Diwali. It runs for about 4 days nationally.
A common question is why the date moves. The Hindu calendar is lunisolar: it tracks the moon for months and the sun for years, which means the civil date of a lunar festival drifts by up to about a fortnight from one year to the next. Islamic festivals follow the purely lunar Hijri calendar and move roughly eleven days earlier every year, subject to moon sighting. A handful of festivals — Makar Sankranti, Vaisakhi, Pongal and the other solar ones — stay on nearly the same date. The entry below tells you which of these applies here.
The centre of the festival. Patna's ghats along the Ganga host lakhs of parvaitins, and the state effectively slows for four days. Chhath is the state's most widely observed festival, cutting across caste lines.
Observed with the same four-day structure on the Ganga and Sarayu in Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Allahabad and Ayodhya. The Purvanchali diaspora carries it everywhere.
Celebrated across Jharkhand with the same ghat rituals, and in Kolkata among the Bihari community, particularly at Babughat and the Ganga ghats organised for the festival.
In Delhi, the Yamuna ghats at ITO, Kalindi Kunj and Wazirabad are prepared for Chhath with temporary ponds for families who cannot reach a river. Mumbai has similar arrangements at Juhu and Powai.
Chhath is a major public holiday in Nepal's Terai region, with the same Nahay Khay, Kharna, Sandhya and Usha Arghya sequence on the Bagmati and other rivers.
