00:00It's Chhath Puja at night, so now we are moving towards the end of Chhath Puja.
00:14With the presence of various rivers, the preparation of the earthen water tank is almost over.
00:20The ritual that has been going on since before Chhath Puja has also started.
00:27In the middle of this, at the Gita Devi Khat of Shiliguri 46 No. 1,
00:32Chhath Puja is being held at a single Surya Temple in Uttarbhanga.
00:38This Surya Temple was built almost 9 years ago by the SGDA.
00:43Many people claim that this is the only temple in Uttarbhanga.
00:48That is why Chhath Puja is held on this Gita Devi Khat.
00:54At the Gita Devi Khat of Shiliguri 46 No. 1, the Chhath Puja Welfare Society is held.
01:01They also run the temple nearby.
01:04Every year, Chhath Puja starts a few days before.
01:09Just like that, this year Chhath Puja started about 15 days before.
01:15The final stage of this Khat is going on.
01:18The devotees claim that this Khat is being repaired.
01:21If this Khat is repaired, then the beauty of this Khat will increase.
01:26Everyone has been informed about this in a processional way.
01:30Now the devotees are hopeful that this problem will be solved very soon.
01:38There is a lot of crowd here.
01:40This Khat is very big in 46 No. 1.
01:45A lot of people come here from outside.
01:49It is a very beautiful place with a beautiful environment.
01:52People come here to see the beauty of this Khat.
02:01How many devotees come to this Gita Devi Khat?
02:06There are about 150 devotees here.
02:09Every year, the number of devotees increases by 10 to 15.
02:13This year, the number of devotees has increased by more than 150.
02:17We have a problem with this Khat.
02:22As you can see, the size of Mahanandar has increased a lot.
02:29The water of the river has increased a lot.
02:31The river has become wider.
02:33We have not been able to get a special type of Khat.
02:40It has been many years, but we have not been able to get it.
02:42That is why it is very difficult for us to carry the Khat.
02:46That is why we have a demand.
02:48If we could make a dry Khat, then we would not have any problem.
02:56If we could make a dry Khat of 200 meters,
03:03then we would not have to carry the Khat in the river.
03:12Another specialty of this Khat and Surjo Temple is that it is located in the middle of two rivers.
03:18Mahananda River flows on one side and Mahishmari River flows on the other.
03:23Surjo Temple and Gita Devi Khat are located next to each other.
03:28That is why thousands of people come to this Khat on the day of Chhat Pooja
03:33to worship at Surjo Devata Temple.
03:36That is why this Khat is spread on the bed of dry leaves every year.
03:41This year, this Khat will be spread in front of police, volunteers, security and CCTV cameras.
