Chhath Parva

Four days of worship of the sun god, mostly in the Terai. Devotees fast without water and make offerings to the setting and rising sun while standing in rivers and ponds. Janakpur's Ganga Sagar and Dhanush Sagar ponds are the most atmospheric places to see the dusk and dawn rituals; in Kathmandu, go to Kamal Pokhari or the Bagmati. Be respectful near devotees and avoid using flash.
