A community effort
We build the ghat together.
Chhath Houston is organized by families, volunteers, donors and local partners who believe a public celebration should feel generous, welcoming and beautifully cared for. Every registration helps us plan food, prasad, safety and space at the water.
Come as you are
Bring your family, your offerings and your helping hands.
Volunteers can help with setup, food, parking, cleanup, cultural programming and welcoming families to the ghat.
