Chhath festival in Bhaktapur Kamalpokhari is also observed. At Kamalpokhari, the Chhath festival, a symbol of harmony and brotherhood, is observed by worshiping Chhathi Mata and offering water to the setting down Sun.
The Chhath Festival, which is primarily celebrated by the Terai Madhesi comminuty, has recently gained popularity in Kathmandu Valley and other communities. Not just the Madhesi but also the hill communities of Bhaktapur’s Kamalpokhari have been worshiping Chhathi Mai. These celebrations are starting to take on the form of societal harmony.
Draupadi, along with the five Pandavas, took this vow during the Guptavas of the five Pandavas, wishing the Guptavas victory by worshiping the sun, according to the Holy book Mahabharata. As a result, it is thought that the Chhath Brat (fasting) custom has begun. The tremendous strength of Karna and Aishwarya was achieved as a result of the brat of Chhath, according to another Mahabharata myth.
