KATHMANDU: NOV. 7 – Ghats have been constructed on the banks of rivers, ponds and reservoirs to celebrate the Chhath festival of sun worship. This time, Chhath festival is being celebrated on Nov. 10 and 11.

In Chhath, chanting is done by sitting on the banks of rivers and lakes all night long, paying homage to the setting sun. Once again on the seventh day in the morning, the brat ends when the rising sun is given argha (a special type of offering) again.
