PNS/DEHRADUN
The four-day Chhath Puja concluded on Friday with the devotees offering ‘arghya’ to the rising sun. With this, the festive season also concluded. Along with the rest of the country, Chhath Puja was celebrated across Uttarakhand by the Bihari community people settled here. Dehradun wore a festive look as the river ghats were prepared and decked appropriately for the festival. People in large numbers gathered on the banks of Rispana when it was quite dark. They offered ‘arghya’ to Surya Dev amidst hymns and devotional songs at the auspicious time when the sun started ascending in the sky.
