KATHMANDU: The Chhath festival concluded today by offering worship to the rising Sun.
On the fourth day of the festival this morning, the Chhath concluded with much fanfare by offering curd (Argha) to the rising Sun in the rivers and ponds across the country including the districts of Mahottari, Dhanusha, Siraha, Saptari and Kahtmandu.
The festival was celebrated with rituals on the banks of ponds, lakes and rivulets.
The feature of the festival is to increase human being’s interest in the truth and non-violence and encourage to remain sympathetic to all living creatures.
The rising and setting suns are worshipped with devotion in the festival which is considered an attractive system of prayers to the Sun God.
Chhath is a festival of goodwill, faith, and social harmony as people from all backgrounds come together in a common place to offer worship to the Sun God.
