The city of Janakpurdham is glowing with devotion and celebration as thousands of worshippers gather to mark Chhath, one of Nepal’s most vibrant festivals of faith, purity, and social harmony. As part of the four-day celebration, devotees will today offer “Sajhuka Argha” — evening prayers and offerings — to the setting sun.
Chhath, known for promoting nonviolence, gratitude, and compassion, has expanded from the Terai-Madhesh region and is now celebrated across Nepal, including Kathmandu.
