Today, women are celebrating Bhadaya Rab festival in the entire Mithilanchal including Mahottari, wishing for the health, happiness and prosperity of their sons, husbands and family members.

In the villages of Mithila region, from this morning, Bartalu women have started celebrating Raab festival by cooking Thekuwa (a type of dish made with sugar) at home, taking fruits such as bananas, corn, cucumbers, apples, betel nuts, betel nuts and betel leaves. 

Today, Bartalu women go to nearby ponds, ponds or rivers with fruits, sweets and food to offer arghya to the Sun God and celebrate the festival, said Upendra Pathak, priest of Baba Jaleshwarnath Mahadev located in Jaleshwar Municipality-1. 

Rab is a festival celebrated by worshiping the sun god. As it is celebrated in August, it is also known as Bhadaiya Raab festival. After taking a bath in a pond, lake or river, offering prayers to the Sun God, the Bertalus go to their homes, and when they reach home, they put the news again in the yard or in the yard. During the

news, Bertalus offer kheer and banana made by coating the floor with water and Ganges water, putting sugar on banana leaves. In this process, how many people from each family are going to celebrate the Rab festival, for that, two neuz (offering prasad in two places) should be put for each person. In the

festival, others can make news (offerings) for others as well. When a member of their family is out or unable to come home, others send news in the name of others.

After breaking the news (offering Prasad), the guests can eat fruits. Tonight, it is customary for them to eat unsalted food (fruits, kheer, bananas, apples). 

Likewise, from now on, most of the women in every village of Mithilanchal will fast all day for Rab festival every Sunday and will celebrate Rab festival for six months by eating food without salt in the evening. Bertalu Renu Devi of Jaleshwar-8 said that there is a custom to celebrate this festival by fasting only on one Sunday of the month.
