All its arrangements have been made by Mandla Jail. This year, women serving sentences observed the fast of Chhath. At the same time, 23 male prisoners serving sentence also celebrated Chhath. Today all the convicted prisoners have offered prayers to Udayachal Gami Lord Bhaskar. During this, he fully cooperated in the Chhath fast being observed by Divisional Superintendent Snehlata Bandi.
It is said that for the Chhath celebrated by the prisoners inside Mandal Jail, separate artificial ponds were made for male and female prisoners, which were decorated in an attractive manner. On the first day of the ritual, the prisoners had observed Kharna fast, for which the jail administration had arranged for jaggery kheer and roti to be offered during the puja.
