Rabri Devi Skips Chhath Puja Again Due to Health Issues | Patna News – Times of India
Patna: Former CM Rabri Devi won’t perform Chhath puja this year also, owing to her health condition.
“Chhath rituals necessitate a 36-hour fast and numerous other customs. Madam is not sufficiently healthy. Besides diabetes, she occasionally struggles with blood pressure issues,” said a senior party leader. When queried about Tejashwi’s wife Rajshree possibly continuing the tradition, as this is customary in most Bihari households where daughters-in-law take the Chhath, he said, “As of now, no such plan has been heard of.”
Party spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan cited similar reasons for Rabri’s not performing the Chhath puja.
Sources said that Rabri, accompanied with her husband and party supremo Lalu Prasad and elder daughter Misa Bharti, were staying at the 10, Circular Road Bungalow. Tejashwi would return to Bihar during Chhath.

The four-day celebration, primarily celebrated in states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, involves devotees expressing gratitude and seeking blessings through rituals such as holy baths, fasting, and offering Arghya to the rising and setting sun.
Following numerous violations of noise regulations during recent festivities, Kolkata and Bidhannagar police have issued strict guidelines for Chhath Puja. The use of unauthorized fireworks is banned, with green crackers permitted only on the morning of November 8th. Police are collaborating with community groups to ensure adherence to regulations, emphasizing the importance of a safe and environmentally respectful celebration.
