Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has extended greetings to all Nepalis on the occasion of Chhath, expressing hope that the festival would promote brotherhood, unity and spiritual bond among all Nepalis. "Religious tolerance, social unity and lasting mutual relations are Nepal's traditional culture," PM said in his greeting, adding, "Nepal is a common place of multi-religion, multi-culture and multi-ethnicity." The PM said all the festivals celebrated by all the ethnic groups and communities have their own specialty. "Festivals of various communities and ethnic groups are important component of Nepal's cultural identity," PM Oli shared. The Chhath festival which is celebrated mostly in Tarai-Madhes by worshipping the Sun is gradually becoming popular in the hilly region too.
