Hindi Films Feature Bihar's Chhath Festival and Maa Van Devi Temple in Storylines
Two recent Hindi films, The Vvaan and Yeh Prem Mol Liya, incorporate the Chhath festival and Bihar's Maa Van Devi Temple into their narratives. The Vvaan draws inspiration from the 400-year-old Van Devi Temple near Bihta, known for its sacred forest and local folklore. Cultural experts suggest the inclusion of Chhath rituals reflects both the significance of the Bihari diaspora and a broader interest in regional religious traditions, enhancing storytelling and audience connection.
