Chhat, the festival of religious faith and cultural identity, has come to an end on Monday morning.

Devotees stayed awake throughout the night and concluded the festival by offering argha to the rising sun this morning.

Argha was offered to the setting sun from 13 different reservoirs decorated like a bride in the Kathmandu Valley. 

President Ramchandra Paudel, Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Balendra Shah among others reached Garighat to celebrate Chhath festival on Sunday afternoon.

It is believed that observing a fast in obeisance of the Sun God will bring in desired results and well-being for the family and remove all sorrows and troubles.

The four-day-long festival which started with Nahay Khay on Friday, (Kharana on Saturday, argha was offered to the setting sun on Sunday) has ended amidst rituals on Monday morning after offering argha to the rising sun.
