On the day of Chhath, the banks of the Narayani River in Narayangadh are decorated to offer Arghya to the Sun. Chhath concludes after offering Arghya to the setting sun on Monday and the rising sun on the following Tuesday morning. Chhath, which is associated with the worship of the Sun, is celebrated with special rituals, faith and enthusiasm, especially in the eastern Terai, i.e. the Mithilanchal region.
With the increase in the population of the area, thousands of people gather on the banks of the Narayani River and other rivers and lakes of the district to offer prayers for Chhath Puja in Chitwan. The Terai Community Service Committee has been managing Chhath Puja in Chitwan.
This time, more than 500 families will gather on the banks of the Narayani River to offer prayers for Chhath, said Rajkumar Kanu, the committee's senior advisor and former chairman. He said that the number of people who perform Chhath Puja in Chitwan has been increasing since the 1960s. Kanu estimates that five to 10 thousand people will be present on the banks of the Narayani River tomorrow, including other activities.
