One of the Festivals of Nepal : Chhath Parva
Chhath Parva is a four-day festival celebrated in October or November by the natives of the Mithila region. It is the biggest festival of Terai people.
The festival is celebrated by worshiping Sun God and thanking him for nourishing life on earth. The worshipers fast during the day for longevity and prosperity of the family members and worship the setting Sun.
Devotees sum up the festival by offering water to the rising sun the next morning after day-long fast.
Other rituals observed during this festival are holy bathing, diving in water for a long time, offering foods to the Sun God, etc. Thekuwa and Anarsa are two unique sweet dishes prepared during Chhath.
