Chhath Puja: planning around the Sun

Chhath Puja is closely connected with sunrise and sunset. The checked New Delhi reference lists Surya Shashti on 15 November 2026; use a local reference for your actual gathering.

What this date identifies

Chhath, also called Surya Shashti, honours Surya. The source lists 15 November 2026 for New Delhi. That single entry identifies the central observance; it is not a complete timetable of every household’s multi-day preparations.

The New Delhi almanac source provides the Tithi and its local daylight reference. A number copied for New Delhi should not become a sunset time for Patna or another city.

Use daylight as a planning aid

The Patna sunrise and sunset planner estimates city-centre daylight. It can help arrange arrival and travel. It does not account for your exact ghat, terrain or a ritual officiant’s convention.

Choose the location, open the intended date and compare with the organiser or local almanac. Keep the next morning’s plan separate from the preceding evening’s visit.

Prepare for a local gathering

My planning checklist Confirm the local observance and ghat with your household. Check the venue’s access and organiser information. Plan transport for the evening and the next morning separately. Use your city’s daylight reference. Confirm current arrangements before travelling.
