The Honorary Consul of Nepal to Auckland, New Zealand wishes a happy Chhath Puja to everyone. Chhath is a Hindu festival where Surya, the sun is worshipped to show gratitude for sustaining life on earth. During the puja, people pray to the rising as well as setting sun. Many people gather near a river, pond,…
The name Chhath means the sixth, as every year Chhath falls on the sixth day of the month of Kartika. Following the ancient tradition of Chhath, people offer prayers and keep fast on this day in hopes for the good health of their family and also with the belief that their wishes will come true.
The Honorary Consul sends everyone his warmest wishes of Chhath. May the warm rays of the sun light up your life with happiness and prosperity.
