Hindu devotees are observing Bala Chaturdashi, also called Satbij Chharne din, across the country on Monday.
During the festival, the holy seeds are sown at Kailash, Gaurighat, Aryaghat, and Guheswori of Pashupati area, Panchase, Galeshwor and Lord Shiva’s shrines across the country on Mangsir Krishna Chaturdashi.
Families of those who died over the last one-year sow holy seeds and light oil lamps and keep themselves awake throughout the night, praying for the departed souls to rest in heaven.
There is a belief that one’s ancestors will have a place in heaven if such seeds are sown in the Lord Shiva’s shrines.
Devotees coming from various places of the country throng the Pashupati area; lit lights in the name of their deceased ancestors and stay awake the whole night on Mangsir Krishna Trayodashi, by chanting hymns.
They sow the Satbij early in the morning on Chaturdashi after taking a sacred bath. RSS
