This is Singya River in Biratnagar, Nepal - a major site for Chhath Puja celebrations. Chhath Puja, one of the most prominent festivals in Hindu culture, is a four-day celebration devoted to the worship of Surya (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya (the Goddess). This festival honors nature, preserves cultural traditions, and reflects gratitude for life’s blessings.These are clips from the festival’s final day, known as Usha Arghya, where devotees gather in reverence. In the early morning, worshippers, who have maintained fasting and purity, assemble along riverbanks and ponds to offer prayers to the rising sun - a symbol of new beginnings, growth, and prosperity. After Usha Arghya, family and friends gather to enjoy prasad and celebrate the day with joy and feasting. The Chhath Puja celebration continues, spreading vibrant energy throughout the day.
Thank you for watching and joining us on this beautiful cultural journey!
