छठ पर्वको अवसरमा सेयर बजार बन्द हुनेNEPSE to Remain Closed on the Occasion of Chhath Festival
काठमाडौं । सरकारले छठ पर्वको अवसरमा सोमबार (कात्तिक १० गते) सार्वजनिक बिदा घोषणा गरेको छ । यस क्रममा नेपाल स्टक एक्सचेञ्ज (नेप्से) पनि बन्द रहने भएको छ । सेयर कारोबार मङ्गलबार (कात्तिक ११ गते) बिहान ११ बजेबाट पुनः सुरु हुनेछ ।
छठ पर्व नेपालको एक महत्वपूर्ण धार्मिक पर्व हो, जसमा विशेषगरी महिलाहरूले नारी शुद्धता, आत्मिक अनुशासन र प्रकृतिप्रतिको श्रद्धा प्रदर्शन गर्ने गर्छन् । यो पर्व चार दिनसम्म मनाइन्छ, जसमा पहिलो दिन सफाइ र व्रतको तयारी, दोस्रो दिन उपवास र प्रसाद पकाउने कार्य, तेस्रो दिन अस्ताउँदो सूर्यलाई अर्घ्य अर्पण गर्ने र अन्तिम दिन उदाउँदो सूर्यलाई अर्घ्य चढाएर पर्व समापन गर्ने परम्परा रहिआएको छ ।
छठ पर्वका क्रममा देशभरका नदी किनार र पोखरीहरूमा हजारौं भक्तजनहरूको उपस्थितिले धार्मिक र सांस्कृतिक वातावरणलाई झनै उज्यालो बनाएको छ । नेप्सेले भने सार्वजनिक बिदाका कारण कारोबार नहुने जानकारी दिँदै लगानीकर्तालाई सोअनुरूप योजना बनाउन आग्रह गरेको छ ।
Kathmandu — The Government of Nepal has declared a public holiday on Monday, Kartik 10 (October 28, 2025), to mark the auspicious occasion of Chhath Parva. Consequently, the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) will remain closed for trading on that day. Market operations will resume on Tuesday, Kartik 11 (October 29, 2025), at 11:00 AM.
Chhath Parva is one of Nepal’s most significant festivals, celebrated mainly in the Terai region but observed nationwide with great devotion. The festival highlights spiritual purity, self-discipline, and reverence toward the Sun God (Surya), considered the source of life and energy.
Traditionally, the four-day festival begins with rituals of cleaning and fasting, followed by the preparation of offerings, and culminates with prayers and rituals performed on riverbanks during sunset and sunrise. Women devotees, in particular, observe strict fasting and perform rituals seeking blessings for family well-being and prosperity.
During this period, thousands of devotees gather along rivers and ponds across the country, creating a spiritually charged and culturally vibrant atmosphere. NEPSE has advised investors to plan their trading activities accordingly, as the market will remain closed during the public holiday.
