Chhath Puja celebrations concluded on Wednesday morning with devotees offering prayers to the rising sun at several ghats in the national capital.
A festive look adorned the ghats where thousands of devotees broke their fast after offering 'Arghya' to the rising Sun.
The movement of devotees to various ghats disrupted traffic on the stretch from Kalindi Kunj towards Noida and other areas in the city.
Chhath is a major festival in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, although it is celebrated in other parts of the country as well where Purvnanchalis are settled in significant numbers.
Chhath Puja relives the age-old tradition of paying obeisance to the Sun God.
Political leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, greeted devotees on Wednesday and wished them health, success and happiness.
