Siraha farmers busy selling sugarcane for Chhath festival

As the Chhath festival approaches in Siraha, there is increased activity from farmers selling sugarcane in markets and along roadsides. Sugarcane holds special significance due to the religious tradition of offering it to the setting and rising Sun God during the Chhath festival. Farmers have harvested sugarcane from their fields and brought it to various markets and main intersections in the district, including Golbazar, for sale. According to local farmer Omkumar Mahato, sugarcane is being sold at the rate of 25 rupees per bundle in Golbazar. Besides carrying religious and cultural importance, the Chhath festival also provides an opportunity for local farmers to earn income by selling their agricultural produce. With the festive atmosphere, the number of consumers buying sugarcane in the market is also increasing. Farmers are selling sugarcane by placing it right on the roadside, and consumers have also started reaching the market to buy items necessary for Chhath.
