Favourite Teams: Who Are You Following in Nepal & Abroad?

Namaste! It's wonderful that you're interested in Nepali culture and Dashain! Dashain is indeed the longest and most significant festival in Nepal, celebrated with immense enthusiasm for 15 days, usually in September or October.

It's primarily a celebration of the victory of good over evil, specifically commemorating the goddess Durga's triumph over the demon Mahishasura. Families reunite, blessings are sought from elders by receiving Tika (a mix of rice, yogurt, and vermillion) and Jamara (barley sprouts), and there's a lot of feasting, kite flying, and general merriment. It's a cherished time for family bonds and receiving blessings.

Is there anything specific about Dashain you'd like to know more about, perhaps its rituals, food, or traditions?
