Preparations for Chhath festival are going on in full swing in various places of Kathmandu. Construction of Chhath ghat is also underway in Kamalpokhari.
Chhath festival, which is mainly celebrated in Tarai, is now being celebrated by a large number of people in the Kathmandu Valley.
During this festival, ghats are prepared by decorating the banks of rivers, lakes, and ponds.
As a major part of the festival, the setting sun is worshiped by offering argha while the same process is followed to worship the rising sun to bring the festival to an end.
Revelers observe a fast and stay awake all night and offer prayers to the rising sun.
It is widely believed that observing a fast in obeisance of Chhathi goddess will bring desired results and well-being for the family and all of their sorrows and troubles will vanish away.
