Chhath Puja 2024 in Abu Dhabi: A Grand Cultural Extravaganza Celebrating Bihar's Traditions

The Bihar Samaj Abu Dhabi is all set to host the much-awaited Chhath Puja Celebration 2024, a grand four-day festival that promises to be a cultural feast for all. Scheduled from November 5th to 8th, this event will bring together the vibrant Bihari community residing in the UAE, offering a unique opportunity to immerse in the age-old traditions and cultural splendor of Bihar.

Chhath Puja, one of the most revered festivals in Bihar, is dedicated to the worship of the Sun God (Surya) and his consorts, Usha and Pratyusha. This ancient festival is celebrated primarily by the people of Bihar, Jharkhand, and the Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh, and is an integral part of their rich cultural heritage.

The Chhath Puja Celebration 2024 in Abu Dhabi will be a true spectacle, blending religious rituals with cultural extravagance. Visitors can witness the traditional rituals such as Nahai-Khai (holy bath and fasting), Lohanda/Kharna (offerings to the Sun God), Shashthi Tithi Rituals (prayers during sunrise and sunset), the Main Puja Day (breaking the fast), and Parna (distribution of prasad).

Beyond the religious aspects, the event promises to be a vibrant showcase of Bihar's cultural treasures. Mesmerizing performances of traditional Bihari folk dances like Jhoomar, Domkach, and Jhijhiya will captivate audiences, accompanied by live music performances featuring melodious tunes from instruments like the dholak, bansuri, and khanjari.

Foodies can indulge in the authentic flavors of Bihar at the grand community feasts organized after the Puja rituals. The menu will feature delectable vegetarian dishes like litti-chokha, daal-pitha, and many other lip-smacking delicacies, ensuring a memorable culinary experience.

Additionally, the event will host stalls selling traditional Bihari clothing, handcrafted jewelry, pottery, and handicrafts, providing visitors with the opportunity to take home a piece of Bihar's rich cultural heritage.

The Chhath Puja Celebration 2024 will take place at the picturesque Bab Al Nojoum Hudayriyat Camp on Hudayriyat Island, offering a serene and beautiful backdrop for the festivities. Interested individuals can register for the event and stay updated by visiting the official website:
