Chhath

November 15 Chhath Puja (often referred to as Chhath) is a major Vedic festival dedicated to the Sun God (Surya) and his sister/consort Chhathi Maiya (Goddess Usha). It is primarily celebrated in the Terai region of Nepal and by the Madhesi community, though it has become a grand event in Kathmandu and other hilly regions in recent years. [1, 2, 3]
