Katihar : On the auspicious occasion of Chhath—a major festival deeply rooted in public faith—the Katihar district administration has elaborately decorated the district’s border checkpost to welcome migrants and devotees returning home from other states. As part of a special initiative undertaken in accordance with the directives of the Government of Bihar, a grand welcome gate—adorned with vibrant, colorful lights—has been set up to greet arriving travelers with warmth and a profound sense of kinship.
Upon entering through this striking gateway, travelers are greeted by the melodious, traditional songs dedicated to Chhathi Maiya, creating a devotional and pleasant atmosphere. The decorations arranged by the administration have imbued the entire border area with the spirit of Chhath, instantly easing the fatigue of those who have traveled long distances to reach home.
It is noteworthy that a large number of migrants from Bihar return to their ancestral homes during this major festival. Keeping this in mind, the district administration has not only arranged for lighting and decorations at the border but has also extended a gesture of respect to every visitor, reflecting the rich culture, traditions, and inherent warmth of Bihar.
