Chhath Puja Videography and Photography
Chhath Puja is one of the most beautiful festivals of Jharkhand and Bihar: the evening arghya to the setting sun, the morning offering at sunrise, and ghats lit with diyas and families in prayer. These articles explain how we photograph and film Chhath with respect for the rituals and for the people performing them.
Tips for Chhath coverage
- Arrive early at the ghat; the best light is the twenty minutes around sunset and sunrise.
- Agree on a place for the photographer that does not block the vratis or the water.
- Low-light video needs fast lenses; flash is avoided during prayers.
- Family portraits are best taken before the evening arghya begins.
