Essential ritual items including sarees and coconuts bring joy to residents of Purnipokhari Tole through an annual community initiative.
News Story: Fifty-one economically disadvantaged households in Rajbiraj Municipality are set to celebrate Chhath Puja with greater ease and joy after receiving essential ritual supplies from a local women's organization. Residents of Purnipokhari Tole in Ward No. 6 expressed happiness upon receiving the support, which directly eases the burden of preparing for the major festival.
The relief packages, distributed by the Terai Madhesh Women's Foundation Nepal in Rajbiraj, Saptari, included sarees, coconuts, adornment items, and other necessary worship materials. By providing these core essentials, the initiative enabled low-income families in the settlement to participate comfortably in the festive traditions.
According to Sunita Kumari Sah, Chairperson of the foundation, the distribution is part of an ongoing annual effort to stand beside financially vulnerable communities during the festival. She stated that the primary goal of the program is to ensure that underprivileged families can observe Chhath Puja without facing hardship.
Looking ahead, the organization has affirmed its commitment to sustaining such social and humanitarian service programs in the coming days to support local communities.
