The Chhath festival is currently taking place in the Mithila region, which includes Mahottari. Bertalu is fasting today, which is regarded as the third and most important day of the festival.

In the evening, Bertalu will offer the first aghya to the setting sun by raising the dali with dessert dishes on the ghat decorated in the holy reservoir. This method is called 'Sajhia Ghat' and 'Sajhuka Arakh' in the dialect of Mithila. Mithila is currently seen preparing for 'Sajhuka Arakh'.

Earlier, Bertalu has already completed the first ritual of 'Nahay-Khay' and 'Arbaarwine' on the day of Kartik Shukla Chauthi last Friday. Likewise, the 'Kharna' ceremony was completed yesterday, Saturday, on the day of Panchami. The villages and towns of Mithila are now decorated like a bride on the occasion of the Chhath festival, which is celebrated with devotion, devotion, and devotion. Especially the ghats built in the reservoir are very attractive.

The Chhath festival will be duly concluded after Bertalu offers aghraya to the rising sun on the day of Saptami on Monday. This ritual in the morning to end the fast is called 'Bhoraka Arakh' or 'Paran'.

Bertalu consumed ‘Arbaarbine’ and ‘Bath-Eat’ earlier last Friday before taking a holy bath and making a fasting commitment. Last Saturday, the day of Panchami Tithi, Bertalu consumed one Chakamart alino (cooked in Sakhkhar) at night. By sticking to kheer alone and finishing the ‘Kharna’ method.

A few decades ago, Chhath, which was considered to be the main festival of Mithila and Terai region, has now become a national festival in the context of Nepal. Now Chhath has been started as a celebration in various places including the capital of the country.

“The importance of Chhath Ghat along with Ranipokhari in the capital has increased since the head of state (President) started visiting Chhath Ghat along with Ranipokhari in the past few years. Not only Chhath festival but many other festivals are becoming common due to the cultural mixing between Pahad, Madhes, and Nepalis of different traditions.” Said Paka Maithil._Rss
