Production Of Molasses In Full Swing As Maghe Sakranti Festival Approach Near In Nepal

Nepali workers weigh and pack molasses in a factory in Tokha, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 7, 2025. Chaku is a confectionery made from concentrated sugarcane juice, jaggery, ghee, and nuts, which holds significance on Maghe Sakranti, the first day of the 10th month according to the Lunar calendar. This process involves melting jaggery, stirring it continuously, and then cooling it in clay pots. It is then whipped, slapped, and stretched until it turns dark brown. The confectionery is then weighed, topped with nuts, and packaged. The whole process takes two to three hours. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
