Devotees offered arghya (religious offerings) to the setting sun on Thursday evening, the main day of the Chhath festival.

Devotees who reached the Kamalpokhari Chhathghat in Kathmandu worshiped Chathi Mai and offered arghya to the setting sun.

Some individuals stay awake all night on Thursday and then pray to the rising sun the next morning.

Terai residents living in Kathmandu have been worshiping at the Chhath Ghat.

The Chhath ritual will complete on Friday morning, when devotees offer arghya to the rising sun on Kartik Shukla Saptami, which marks the culmination of the four-day celebration.

This festival is dedicated to the Sun, with offerings made to both the setting and rising sun.
