JANAKPURDHAM: Chhath, the festival of purity, goodwill and faith, is being observed with high regard and much fanfare today.
The main ritual of this four-day Chhath festival begins in the evening by worshipping and making offerings to the setting sun.
Accordingly, the revellers take a holy bath while fasting and worshipping the sun standing inside water, offering prasad and argha to the setting sun.
In Janakpurdham, the festival is being observed with people gathering at the local historical ponds-Ganga Sagar, Dhanus Sagar, Ram Sagar, Ratna Sagar, Bihar Kunda, Rukmini Sar, Argaja, Maharaj Sagar and Agni Kunda among others.
The stage has already been set with bamboos fencing and banana trees and lots of colourful lighting.
