Chatth

Chhath, also called Chhath Puja, is an ancient Hindu festival native to East India and southern Nepal. It is celebrated primarily in the Indian state of Bihar, though also in Jharkhand, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh; and Koshi, Gandaki, Bagmati, Lumbini, and Madhesh provinces of Nepal. In major urban centres like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Janakpur, and Kathmandu, the Bihari and South Nepali diaspora celebrates Chhath to preserve their cultural heritage. The festival is also celebrated by the diaspora in countries such as the United States, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Mauritius, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
