Authorities are finalising extensive arrangements for the upcoming Chhath celebrations at the historic Deo Sun Temple in Aurangabad, Bihar, with a strong security focus.
The administration in Aurangabad district has begun detailed preparations for the annual Chhath Puja at the centuries‑old Deo Sun Temple. Temporary shelters, sanitation facilities and crowd‑management infrastructure are being set up to accommodate the expected influx of devotees.
Police and local officials have deployed additional personnel and installed surveillance equipment to ensure safety during the three‑day observance. Checkpoints and vehicle inspections will be conducted at entry points to the temple precincts.
Cultural committees are coordinating with religious leaders to organise traditional rituals, including the offering of prayers at sunrise and sunset over the temple pond. The combined effort aims to preserve the sanctity of the festival while maintaining public order.
Officials have urged pilgrims to adhere to guidelines on waste disposal and to follow the designated routes for movement within the temple complex. The emphasis on security and hygiene reflects lessons learned from previous gatherings.
The Deo Sun Temple, a landmark of Bihar’s religious heritage, is expected to draw thousands of worshippers from across the state, making the coordinated arrangements a critical component of the celebration.
