Locals busy building Chhath Puja ghats

Local residents are seen busy building ghats and cleaning the Kuruwa Khola, Sunsari Khola, and Shankarpur canal, which separate wards 3 and 4 of Inaruwa Municipality in Sunsari, to celebrate the Chhath festival. Locals are cleaning the ghats using tools like spades, shovels, buckets, and khukuris, while bulldozers have also been used in some places to level the ground. Today, the second day of the Chhath festival, the Kharna ritual is being observed, in which devotees fast without water all day and, in the evening, offer kheer cooked with jaggery to their family deities and Chhathi Devi before consuming it. In the Maithili language, this ritual is called Kharna. Locals are very enthusiastic about the preparations for the Chhath festival and are engaged in decorating and cleaning the ghats, which has increased the festive atmosphere of Chhath along the banks of various rivers and canals in Inaruwa.
