Chhath Celebration In Nepal

Fasting Nepali Hindu women make offerings to the setting sun while observing Chhath in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 7, 2024. Chhath, a festival of benediction to Lord Surya, the sun, starts on the day of Karthik Shukla Chathurthi and ends on Shukla Saptami according to the lunar calendar. Thekuwa, Khajuri, and Kasar, along with varieties of dry fruits, fruits, and flowers, constitute the basket popularly known as ''Dhakri.'' Devotees especially fast and worship the sun for the long lives and well-being of their family members, also praying for their expectations and attempts to come true. Chhath is celebrated for all the members of the family. The Hindu religion adores and respects Lord Sun, who at the time of Chhath is also called ''Chatti Mata'' or the goddess of Chhath.
