Chhath Puja songs

Chhath geet are woven through the festival. They are heard during domestic preparation, as families travel to the ghat, while offerings are arranged and in the hours surrounding sunset and sunrise. Bihar Tourism describes these folk songs as expressions of Bihar’s culture and history.

A living musical tradition

Some songs have travelled through generations in family and community singing. Others are known through recordings by artists whose voices have become closely associated with Chhath. The songs evoke the sun, the river, the offering basket, family separation and the hope of returning home.

This guide does not reproduce lyrics. It identifies the recordings used by the website and credits their performers, helping listeners discover the music while respecting the artists and rights holders.

The Chhath Puja Vibes playlist

The interactive site organises thirteen verified recordings across the four festival days. Each day begins with a distinct song, and the player continues from one day to the next in the order of the observance.

Open the interactive music experience to hear the playlist through the site’s custom player.

How playback sources are handled

The website uses credited YouTube recordings that have been tested for embedded playback. A source is included in the active playlist only after it reaches the playing state inside the embedded player. Search-only entries and sources blocked from embedding are excluded from automatic playback.

Availability can still change because the recordings remain hosted by their respective YouTube channels. The website does not copy or redistribute audio files.
