How to Play Chhath Songs From Your Phone on a Smart TV

The thekua is ready, preparations are underway for the puja, and someone in the family has already started to play the Chhath Geet composed by Sharda Sinha on their mobile phone. However, there is one slight problem. The music can barely be heard from outside the kitchen.

Devotional Songs are a vital aspect of the festive ambiance during Chhath Puja. The songs like Kanch Hi Bans Ke Bahangiya, songs about Chhathi Maiya etc are all familiar and remind me of celebrations with family.

So why stop the music on a mobile device?

You can now stream Chhath songs from your smartphone to a smart TV via Chromecast, music app or screen mirroring. If you have the right connection, then your TV can be used to play devotional music and videos during the festivities too.

Before you party, here are a few instructions to ensure the party goes smoothly.

The Easiest Way to Play Chhath Songs on Your Smart TV

One of the easiest ways to experience songs of Chhath Puja on a larger screen is by casting. If your TV has Chromecast built-in, you can cast from your TV.

Rather than wiring or swapping music files, users can pick up a song from their smartphone and transmit it to the TV directly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cast Chhath Songs

To connect your smartphone with compatible smart TV, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your “smart” TV and make sure it is connected to Wi-Fi.
2. Use the same WiFi network with your Android phone or iPhone.
3. Open YouTube or other music app that’s compatible with Chromecast.
4. Look for your favourite Chhath Puja songs or devotional playlists.
5. Click the ‘Cast’ button from the application.
6. Choose the smart TV from the available devices.
7. Select your tune and start the recording.

After you connect, the content you selected should begin playing on your TV.

Depending on the application, you can change songs, pause playback or adjust the volume with the help of your smartphone.

The best part? You don’t have to use the full screen of your application on TV with supported app-based casting.

This is very convenient for families that can enjoy watching traditional Chhath music videos together.

Does Your Full Phone Screen Have to Be On to Play Chhath Songs?

Yes. Indeed, when it comes to sharing, it is sometimes easier to drop a song or video than to send all of the content in your smartphone.

Visualize that you are playing a Chhath devotional playlist as family members are coming along. Someone comes through your WhatsApp or you need to review the grocery list for the next day’s food.

Supported app based casting allows you to continue to cast from your app without casting the activities to the television.

There are two prevailing strategies.

Method 1: Cast Songs Directly From YouTube

There is a vast library of devotional songs (Chhath geet) played during Chhath and festive songs on YouTube.

To play them:

1. Go to the YouTube app on your mobile device.
2. Look for Chhath Puja Geet and Chhathi Maiya Songs.
3. Choose a video or play list.
4. Tap the Cast icon.
5. Select the smart TV that is compatible with you.

The video is played on the TV and your smartphone acts as the playback controller.

This is particularly effective when family members are not just interested in listening to music, but also viewing devotional performances.

Method 2: Use Screen Mirroring

Screen mirroring shows your smartphone’s screen on the television.

Depending on your phone, you can look for this feature in Cast, Smart View, Wireless Display or Screen Mirroring.

Open the corresponding setting, choose your compatible television and proceed with the connecting procedure.

Note, however, that incoming notifications and other activities on the phone may be shown if it is in screen mirroring. Mirrored playback might be limited in some applications.

Direct casting is typically the more convenient casting method for family gatherings.

Before the Chhath Festival, How to Make a Playlist for Chhath Puja?

No one wants to be searching for the next song for the whole night.

Making a music list beforehand helps keep the music going as people focus on the celebrations.

Chhath songs can be arranged based on various occasions of the festival.

Occasion	Suggested Music
Nahay Khay preparations	Chhath devotional songs are of traditional nature.
Kharna evening	Peaceful chhathi maiya Bhajans
Sandhya Arghya preparations	Traditional Bhojpuri Chhath geet
Usha Arghya morning	Devotional songs and Surya worship bhajans of the sunrise.
Family gathering	Hindi Chhath songs are popular and the people perform them in traditional ways.

Some common music can make the playlist more personal.

A few traditional Chhath geet such as Kanch Hi Bans Ke Bahangiya, Uga Ho Suruj Dev etc. that you like in your family may be included.

Ensure the playlist is available in YouTube or other supported apps so you can start casting when you need it.

A practical tip: review the list of songs before the session begins  When preparing for prayer, some online videos may contain advertisements or lengthy introductions that can break the spirit.

What If Your Smart TV Can’t Find Your Phone?

Sometimes, the Cast icon appears, but the television doesn’t show up in the available device list.

Typically, this does not indicate that there is a problem with the TV.

These are some checks to make before trying to reconnect:

• Test Wi-Fi signal: Make sure that your phone and smart TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Restart the App: Close and restart YouTube or casting App.
• Review network permissions: On the iPhone, if necessary, add Local Network to the casting app’s permissions.
• Restart the devices: If there are temporary connection problems, restart the smartphone and television.
• Update software: See if there are any software updates for your TV and casting app.
• Turn off network isolation: Certain guest Wi-Fi networks will not allow connected devices to see each other.

With compatible Haier M70 Series Google TV, Chromecast built-in eliminates the need for an additional Chromecast setup.

Even with the network connection and application compatibility though, successful casting is still subject to the outcome.

Small Things That Make a Difference During Chhath Puja

Celebrations should be simpler, not be an additional chore for the family.

There are a couple of things that you should think about before beginning your Chhath playlist.

Make Sure the Volume Is Not Too Loud

Devotional songs set the tone, but if very loud, it makes conversation difficult and neighbours will complain.

Select a comfortable level of sound, especially in the morning when getting ready.

Keep Your Phone Charged

While you can use the app-based casting to play content on the TV, the smartphone can still be used to manage playback.

Make sure it’s charged to play the right playlist when it is needed.

Engage Voice Control When It’s Appropriate

The Haier M70 Series is equipped with hands-free voice control and Google TV (Gemini).

Use compatible TV functions with supported voice commands to find entertainment.

For example, if you don’t have your phone handy, you can easily look up Chhath devotional music on TV. Availability of results and commands is subject to change.

Make Chhath a Fun Time Through Music That Unites Us All

Sometimes the best aspects of Chhath Puja occur at home, before the family arrives at the ghat.

It’s the music of a familiar devotional song from another room. Preparing in the kitchen area. The elders reminisced about how the event was held back in the day.

With the smart TV playing Chhath songs, it becomes easier for everyone to enjoy those moments.

With Chromecast built-in, Google TV, Mini LED picture technology and a 50W 2.1-channel sound system, the Haier New M70 Series Mini LED AI Smart Google TV with Gemini brings convenient connectivity and entertainment features into the home.

Check out the Haier M70 series at Haier India’s website and decide which screen size is best for your family.

Sometimes, it’s enough to have the familiar Chhath geet playing in the background to make a house feel festive.
