Chhath is an ancient Hindu festival historically native to the Indian subcontinent, more specifically, the Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,West Bengal, Jharkhand, and the Nepalese provinces of Madhesh and Lumbini. Prayers during Chhath puja are dedicated to the solar deity, Surya, to show gratitude and thankfulness for bestowing the bounties of life on earth and to request that certain wishes be granted.
Chhathi Maiya, the sixth form of Devi Prakriti and Lord Surya's sister is worshipped as the Goddess of the festival. It is celebrated six days after Deepavali, on the sixth day of the lunar month of Kartika (October–November) in the Hindu calendar Vikram Samvat. The rituals are observed over four days. They include holy bathing, fasting and abstaining from drinking water (vrata), standing in water, and offering prasad (prayer offerings) and arghya to the setting and rising sun. Some devotees also perform a prostration march as they head for the river banks.
This photo was taken in my village Simari in Madhubani district, Bihar. The puja was done in the village pond and the temple can be seen in the background.

“Bihar (mañana, en euskera), es una intervención escultórica que busca poner de manifiesto el impacto de las decisiones sociales actuales en el devenir de las vidas de los jóvenes, es obra del artista mejicano Rubén Orozco, un auténtico experto en la escultura viva, busca reflejar el devenir constante del tiempo que se representa con la subida y la bajada de las mareas de la Ría de Bilbao. Pero sobre todo, una escultura que pretende reflejar la expectación por las decisiones que se tomarán que determinarán si vivimos hundidos o sacamos la cabeza.
