Rabi Lamichhane and his wife Nikita Poudel will perform all the rituals of Chhath in Janakpurdham: Manish Jha

Talking to media persons in Janakpurdham on Thursday, Jha said that he talked to President Lamichhane over the telephone to ensure that the Chhath festival rituals are held sincerely.

He said that President Lamichhane and his wife Nikita will perform all the rituals sitting in the house of a common man in Janakpurdham. Jha said that it has been decided to perform all the rituals at the house of a common local, not at the house of a close acquaintance or a relative who is not affiliated to the party.

According to MP Jha, President Lamichhane and his wife Nikita will also perform Arghya rituals at Gangasagar Pokhari. However, considering the crowd, they will come to the ghat some time before or after some time, MP Jha said. According to MP Jha, during President Lamichhane’s stay in Janakpur, there will be less political meetings and programs and more Chhath festival-centered. He said that he will inform President Lamichhane about more and more ponds in Janakpurdham.

Regarding the rumors that Prime Minister Balendra Shah will also visit Janakpurdham, MP Jha said that it can be confirmed only on Friday morning. Although the possibility is less, MP Jha said that the exact information can be given only tomorrow morning.

Since then, the work of decorating the ghats of Janakpurdham has reached the final stage. On the first day of the Chhath festival, which is celebrated with devotion for four days, the Nahay Khay ritual is being performed. Similarly, on Saturday, the Kharna ritual will be performed, while on Sunday, the main day will be the setting sun and Arghya will be offered.
