Chhath celebrated with great fervour across Bihar
Patna, Nov 19 (PTI) Lakhs of men and women across Bihar paid tributes to the setting sun on Sunday as part of Chhath, the state’s most popular festival which has now gained fame far and wide.
Chhath devotees, those who observe q grueling 36-hour fast, stood in waist-deep water, some choosing deep vessels atop roofs but many others walking long distances to reach ghats of rivers, lakes or ponds.
Many men carried wicker baskets on their heads, heavy with items used in the ritual worship while the more adventurous ones chose to cover the distance prostrating on their bare chests (dandvat).
