Know How Chhath Puja Was Celebrated in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Dubai: The vibrant spirit of Chhath Puja illuminated Abu Dhabi’s La Boulanger Park as the Bihar & Jharkhand Samaj, in collaboration with Bihar Foundation, prepared for a grand celebration of this cultural extravaganza.

Thousands of families hailing from Bihar, Jharkhand, and Purvanchal converged on the beach, bringing the essence of their rich culture to the heart of the UAE capital. The Chhath Puja, deeply rooted in Bihar’s culture, transcends regional boundaries, earning admiration from across India.

Adhering to all rituals, the diaspora ensures that the Chhath Puja is observed with utmost devotion.

In a testament to community spirit, the Bihar & Jharkhand Samaj Abu Dhabi, supported by chapter president Omar Hazirjin of Bihar Foundation and Indian People Forum Art and Craft, is tirelessly organizing the event. The team worked around the clock, with a focus on providing essential puja materials to devotees and meticulously cleaning and decorating the ghat.
