Nepali Hindu devotees flock to a marketplace in Birgunj, Nepal, on October 26, 2025, in preparation for the Chhath festival. The Hindu festival of Chhath, which lasts for four days, commences on Saturday with the first ritual, 'Nahay Khay,' drawing massive crowds at various ghats. Devotees throng riverbanks to take a holy dip and offer prayers to the Sun God, marking the beginning of the auspicious Chhath Mahaparv. On the second day of Chhath Puja, known as Kharna, devotees observe a fast from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from both food and water. The fast is broken only after making offerings to the Sun God at sunset. Dedicated to the worship of the Sun God and his sister Chhathi Maiya, the festival emphasizes purity, gratitude, and the well-being of one's family.
