But what is Chhath Parva? It’s a significant and vibrant festival celebrated throughout Nepal, drawing countless pilgrims to riversides across the country. The festival emphasizes both physical and spiritual cleansing. It’s especially significant for women, who are the traditional observers of Chhath.
The Chhath celebration unfolds over three days of deep devotion and ritual. The first day involves meticulous cleaning and fasting, followed by the careful preparation of offerings. The grand finale takes place by the riverside at sunset, where devotees perform sacred rituals. It’s a beautiful display of Nepali culture and religious traditions. Enjoy the holiday!
