Festivals are the peephole of any community’s heritage as they hold profound symbolic value and provide the opportunity to experience something together.
Hence, it is beautiful to see when people from different ethnicities explore the culture of others. A similar incident was observed on Sunday when a German woman along with her Indian husband attended the Chhath Puja festivities in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.
The woman named Victoria is married to Shubham Agarwal, a resident of Gorakhpur, who has been living in Switzerland for the past 12 years.
The duo, who got married as per Hindu and German traditions, performed Chhath fast at Surya Kund Dham today and recited prayers of worship. For the auspicious occasion, Victoria was dressed in a traditional black salwar suit which she had paired with a bright pink dupatta and bindi.
