Chhath Puja
Hundreds of Indian-American technologists, together with their friends and families congregated at a lakeshore in the US city of Fremont to worship the Sun as part of the Hindu festival of Chhath Puja.
On November 17, the four-day Chhath Puja began. Devotees fast and gather on the banks of rivers and ponds to pray to the Sun during the festival.
Hundreds of Indian-Americans took part in the festivities in Fremont, California.
This year, the Fremont organizers provided free tickets for entry to the lakefront for the Chhath Puja celebrations.
