Passengers squeeze through train windows as doors fill with people and luggage in footage of the Chhath Puja homeward rush. Crowds also wait beside an arriving train at New Delhi railway station.

India's Hindi-language news channel NDTV India presents the scenes as travelers trying to reach Bihar and Uttar Pradesh for the festival. Anchor Syed Suhail describes their determination to get home, while an on-screen graphic says railways introduced 18,000 special trains to handle the rush.

Chhath is a Hindu festival particularly associated with Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh, as well as parts of Nepal. Communities elsewhere also celebrate it, but the report's focus is the crowded journey home.

The Short's Hindi title, "Syed Suhail | Chhath Puja 2026 पर सबको जाना है घर, ट्रेनों में भीड़ भी खचाखच! #shorts #youtubeshorts", means "Everyone wants to go home for Chhath Puja 2026, trains packed." Its brief sequence puts the announced extra services alongside images of passengers still struggling to board.
