Preserving the ritual
Chhath Utsav Mahasangh brings families together around the sacred traditions of Chhath Puja. Ritual knowledge, preparations and the sharing of prasad connect younger generations with the practices passed down by their elders.
Chhath Utsav Mahasangh
Faith unites generations.
A community story rooted in Chhath at Juhu Beach, carried through tradition, service and continuity.
Our purpose
A tradition
worth carrying forward.
Chhath Utsav Mahasangh is associated with the long-running public celebration of Chhath Puja at Juhu Beach, Mumbai. Its story is connected to founder Mohan Mishra and the families who helped a shared observance take root in the early 1990s.
Our guiding values are Parampara, Seva and Satatata: tradition, service and continuity. They express a commitment to the sanctity of the ritual and care for the people who gather around it.

A specific Juhu story
Chhath in Mumbai extends beyond any single organisation. Our focus is the Mahasangh’s connection to Juhu Beach, without claiming to have introduced Chhath to the city or assigning the entire beach’s attendance to our organisation.
