Chhath Puja is one of the most spiritually charged and visually stunning festivals celebrated across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Nepal. It’s not about grandeur — it’s about faith, purity, and gratitude.
In 2025, Chhath Puja will be observed between October 25 and October 28, ending with the offering of Usha Arghya (morning prayer) to the rising sun. Across ghats, riversides, rooftops, and even balconies, devotees light diyas, sing devotional songs, and offer arghya to the Sun God, thanking him for sustaining life on Earth.
While the rituals of Chhath remain timeless, the way we decorate our homes and surroundings can beautifully blend tradition with today’s elegance. Let’s explore how you can create a serene and stunning atmosphere this year — whether you’re at the ghats or celebrating at home.
1. Create a Sacred Ambience with Floral Decor
Nothing elevates the spirit of Chhath Puja like flowers — they symbolize devotion, freshness, and the life-giving energy of the sun.
🌼 For Home Altars:
- Adorn your puja space with marigold and rose garlands.
- Create a floral rangoli near the altar using petals and rice powder.
- Float lotus flowers and diyas in a large brass bowl filled with water for a divine glow.
🌿 For Ghats:
- Decorate the offering space with banana leaves and flower strings.
- Surround your diya setup with marigold garlands and rose petals.
- Keep the setup simple but fragrant — the idea is purity, not extravagance.
💐 Better Gift Flowers™ Recommendation:
Our Festive Bloom & Sweet Delight Hamper adds an elegant touch with fresh blooms and delicious sweets — perfect for gifting or enhancing your own altar setup.
2. Light Up Every Corner: Diyas, Candles & Glow
Lighting plays a powerful role during Chhath Puja. Diyas symbolize the victory of inner light and the connection with the Sun God.
💫 At Home:
- Line up clay diyas across windows, balconies, and entranceways.
- Mix traditional diyas with floating candles in decorative bowls.
- If celebrating on a terrace, arrange diyas in the shape of the sun or a mandala.
🌊 At the Ghat:
- Use biodegradable diyas to light up the banks of rivers and ponds — it keeps the environment clean and looks magical at sunset.
- Avoid synthetic or plastic décor items — keep it all natural and sacred.
🕯️ Better Gift Flowers™ Suggestion:
The A Festive Combo from Better Gift Flowers™ combines elegant diyas and a floral arrangement — ideal for both gifting and home puja lighting décor.
3. Traditional Touches with Modern Style
Tradition never goes out of fashion — especially when it’s presented with elegance.
🪶 Incorporate Bamboo & Cane Decor:
Bamboo baskets (daura, soop) are symbolic in Chhath rituals — use them to hold fruits, sugarcane, and thekua for offerings. You can also decorate these baskets with ribbons and flower petals.
🍂 Add Natural Elements:
Bring in the earthy essence of banana leaves, sugarcane stalks, and mango leaves for a truly authentic look.
If you’re celebrating indoors, use sugarcane stems as part of your wall décor or near the entrance.
🌺 Better Gift Flowers™ Idea:
Pair this traditional setup with Yellow Roses & Dry Fruits Combo — the perfect symbol of warmth and prosperity.
4. The Balcony or Rooftop Setup (For Urban Devotees)
Not everyone can reach the riverbank — and that’s okay. Urban households now recreate the divine setup on balconies and terraces, keeping the essence of Chhath alive wherever they are.
🌇 How to Do It:
- Place a low table or a basket covered with a red cloth.
- Arrange a small brass pot (kalash), fruits, and diyas.
- Add fresh flowers and sugarcane stems for authenticity.
- Keep a water bowl symbolizing the holy river.
✨ Light diyas around your rooftop and use string lights for that extra festive glow.
🎁 Better Gift Flowers™ Pick:
The Orchids & Nut Harmony hamper — a luxurious blend of orchids and premium dry fruits — adds a modern yet devotional touch to your Chhath setup.
5. The Color Palette: Bring the Sun Indoors
Chhath Puja revolves around the Sun and Water — so your decoration should reflect those natural hues.
🎨 Use these Colors:
- Golden Yellow: Symbolizes sunlight and purity.
- Orange & Red: Represent devotion and strength.
- White: Brings peace and serenity to the setup.
Use fabrics like cotton or silk for the altar cloth, and opt for eco-friendly, non-glossy materials that keep things simple and sacred.
6. Add Sweetness to the Setup
No festival in India is complete without sweets — and during Chhath, sweets hold the symbolic meaning of gratitude and offering.
Place homemade thekua, jaggery laddoos, and fruits on the altar as prasad. You can also offer sweet hampers to family, friends, or neighbors as a gesture of togetherness.
🍫 Better Gift Flowers™ Feature:
The A Chocolaty Delight hamper — a combination of premium chocolates beautifully packed with festive flair — makes the perfect modern-day Chhath offering or gift.
7. Fragrance & Freshness: The Final Touch
The aura of Chhath Puja should feel serene and pure — fragrance plays a big role in setting that mood.
🌾 Add These Touches:
- Use sandalwood incense sticks or natural essential oils.
- Place a bowl of rose petals mixed with camphor and ghee for a traditional scent.
- Keep your space filled with fresh flowers and air-purifying plants.
💐 Better Gift Flowers™ Touch:
Add a hint of elegance with A Festive Combo or Festive Bloom & Sweet Delight Hamper — they bring the right mix of fragrance, color, and devotion to any setup.
8. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Décor
Modern celebrations must respect tradition and the environment.
This year, choose eco-conscious décor:
- Avoid plastic flowers and shiny synthetic materials.
- Opt for clay diyas, natural garlands, and jute decorations.
- Dispose of puja materials responsibly — never in water bodies.
🌻 Better Gift Flowers™ Initiative:
Our packaging and décor sets are eco-friendly and biodegradable, ensuring your celebrations remain as pure as your prayers.
Chhath Puja Is About Devotion, Not Display
While decorations add joy to the festival, Chhath Puja remains a deeply spiritual experience. It’s a time of silence, fasting, gratitude, and connection — not competition.
Whether you’re at the ghat offering arghya or lighting diyas on your balcony, what matters is the sincerity in your heart.
With the right touches — flowers, light, color, and fragrance — your space can reflect the divine beauty of the Sun God’s blessings.
