The Chief Minister remarked that the grandeur of this year’s Chhath celebrations extends beyond Delhi, becoming a subject of admiration across the country.

The Chief Minister observed that as devout mothers and sisters offered Arghya at the sacred ghats of the Yamuna, it seemed as if the entire city was bathed in the light of faith, discipline, and devotion. The golden rays of the Sun shimmered upon the rippling waters of the Yamuna, and with the blessings of Chhathi Maiya, every home and doorstep appeared to glow with renewed hope.

Devotees expressed their appreciation for the arrangements made by the Delhi Government, noting that the Yamuna’s waters appeared cleaner than they had in many years.

She added that the smiles on the faces of brothers and sisters from Purvanchal are the greatest blessings for her and the truest measure of her government’s success.
