The 'Jitiya Parva,' a religious and cultural festival that is observed by married women in the Mithila region, has formally begun today. The festival that is celebrated wishing for the longevity of offspring and family happiness and peace has started in various places in the Mithila region, including Mahottari, with the observance of the 'Nha Kha' ceremony, which means to take food after taking a bath with established rituals. The festival falls on the seventh, eighth, and ninth days of the waning moon (Krishna Pakshya) in the month of Ashwin in the lunar calendar.
Prior to observing a fast, women devotees take a holy bath in nearby rivers, ponds, or lakes and then offer beaten rice, curd, food substances made from mango juice, jiggery, mustard oil, and so on to the Lord Jitamohan and the departed ancestors on a leaf of sponge guard. The Jitiya Brata (fast) begins at 4:00 a.m. on Friday and will conclude after 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, according to Jaleshwornath Mahadev Temple's priest, Upendra Pathak._Rss
