The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia is on November 19. The Delhi government has declared a "dry day" on account of Chhath Puja

Pubs, restaurants and eateries will not be able to serve liquor on Sunday, which is the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia. The Delhi government has declared a “dry day” on November 19 on account of Chhath Puja.

Many people exclusively visit pubs and sports bars to watch screenings of World Cup matches. All liquor shops in the city will also be closed on the day of the festival, as per an order issued by the excise department on Thursday (November 16).

Chhath is a prominent festival in which the sun is worshipped. It is mostly observed by those belonging to Purvanchal, eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Delhi has prepared more than 900 ghats for devotees to worship the sun.
