A group of family members gathers along the banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi to offer Sandhya Arghya during Chhath Puja. Dressed in traditional attire, they stand in the shallow water facing the setting sun, holding diyas and prayer items with devotion. Beside them rests a large basket filled with fruits, sugarcane, coconuts, and other sacred offerings used in the ritual. The soft evening light, shimmering river surface, and reverent atmosphere capture the essence of this ancient festival that honors the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. The scene reflects faith, togetherness, and the cultural richness of Chhath Puja in an urban riverside setting.
