Chhath Concludes In Nepal With Offering To The Rising Sun
A fasting Nepali Hindu devotee offers prayers to the rising sun on the final day of the Chhath festival in Birgunj, Nepal, on October 28, 2025. Worship of the rising and setting sun is central to Chhath, regarded as a unique and devotional form of prayer to the Sun God. People from all walks of life come together to honor the Sun God, believing that such devotion brings happiness, prosperity, well-being, and longevity to their families. The four-day festival, which begins last Saturday, reaches its climax with the main pooja on the final evening and concludes this morning with the traditional offering of Argha at rivers and ponds across the country. Thousands of Hindu devotees throng the Ghadiarwa Pokhari in Birgunj, Nepal, adjoining the Indian state of Bihar, submerging themselves in the water. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
