Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Shri Ram Janki Pratishthan has been organising Chhath Puja at the Ramlila Ground in Bajaj Nagar for the past 26 years. This year, too, three artificial ponds, each measuring 22 by 45 feet, have been constructed at the site to allow devotees to offer 'Arghya' to the Sun God. Arrangements have been made to fill these ponds with water through tankers, and the area has also been decorated with festive lighting.
