Preparations for worship have been made by constructing Chhath ghats at rivers, streams, ponds, and canals. The Chhath festival, which officially began on Friday, has already seen worship services in various places. Devotees are preparing to celebrate the Chhath festival by offering arghya to the setting sun on Sunday and the rising sun on Monday. According to the District Police Office Kapilvastu, preparations are underway to worship at 70 Chhath ghats constructed in all 10 municipalities of the district.
While the Chhath festival was celebrated in a limited area a few years ago, it has now expanded throughout the district. The practice of celebrating Chhath collectively, especially on the banks of rivers, streams, and ponds, is increasing. At Ramghat in Kapilvastu Municipality-3, beds have been constructed and decorated for Chhath puja on both sides of the river.
