Patna: Hundreds of thousands prayed to the rising sun Wednesday after taking a dip in rivers and ponds across Bihar to mark the end of Chhath. The four-day festival again became a shining example of communal harmony as Hindus used earthen stoves made by Muslims to prepare the holy offering.Many of the devotees, attired in new colourful clothes, ended their 36-hour fast by floating lighted earthen lamps in rivers and ponds. They also sang folk songs and offered prayers to the sun god. |
