Another Dipawali 2080 Has Arrived!

On this auspicious occasion of the Shubha Dipawali 2080, may all the people of Nepal be happy, prosperous, and healthy!

Short Background Abot Dipawali (Tihar)

Tihar also known as Dipawali is one of the greatest festivals in Nepal. Not only Nepal but it is also celebrated in Indian states. It generally falls in the month of October. Tihar is the second biggest festive celebration in Nepal after Dashain. It is known as Swanti among Newars and Diwali among the Madhesis community. This festival is known as the festival of Lights. Lights are the prominent feature of this festival. Diyos are lit inside and outside of the house during the night. People keep their houses and surroundings very neat and clean. They decorate their house with flowers, and pictures and keep oil lamps burning at night.
Laxmi is regarded as the Goddess of fortune or wealth. So, in this day Cows are worshipped as an incarnation of Goddess Laxmi. They feed a cow and offer garlands. It is believed that people can have a lot of wealth if Goddess Laxmi is pleased. So, Houses and surroundings are kept clean, decorations are done with garlands of Saya Patri and Makhamali. In the evening time, Goddess Laxmi is welcomed into the house by lighting different oil lamps or candles around the house so as to bring prosperity and well-being.
At night, the girls enjoy dancing and singing known as Bhailo. They visit houses of neighbors all night collecting amounts as a tip or charity for them. On the fourth day, different poojas are performed depending on the people’s culture. Mainly, people worship oxen as a useful and faithful animal. The followers of Vaishnavism do Govardhan Pooja by worshipping the cow dung as the reflector of Govardhan Mountain. Moreover, in the evening the Newari Community performs the Maha Pooja(self-worship). The day marks the new year of the Nepal Sambat Calendar. Moreover, in this day people especially boys enjoy playing Deuso in which one person narrates the song and the rest sing as supporter.
The last day of the Tihar is known as Bhai Tika. On this day, sisters worship their brothers by putting Tika on the forehead and garland around the neck. It is done to wish for the long life and protection of the brothers. The Bhai Tika follows the tradition of circling the brother by dropping the oil from the pitcher esp. copper one, putting oil on the hair of the brothers, and applying seven color tikas. They also present the gifts along with the sweets, fruits, and other special food items. Those without brothers or sisters, join their relatives for the Tika.

Dashain 2023 has arrived!

Just like each year Dashain 2023 A.D. or 2080 B.S. is here bringing rejoicing and ecstasy into the lives of people.

Dashain also known as Vijaya Dashami is the most auspicious and biggest festival of Hindu culture. It is celebrated widely in Nepal by every Nepalese of any kind of caste and race. It is also celebrated in some parts of India(Sikkim, Assam, and Darjeeling district) and among the Lhotshampa of Bhutan and the Burmese Gurkhas of Myanmar. In India, it is termed Dashera.

Generally, Dashain is the celebration of the Goddess Durga that’s why it is also called Durga Pooja. This festival mostly falls in the month of September or October each year which usually starts from Shukla Paksha(Bright Lunar Fortnight) and ends on the day of Purnima, the Full Moon. Traditionally, It is celebrated for 15 days. In Nepal, all the government and private offices, and educational institutions remain closed during the period of the festival.


A little history behind Dashain

According to Hindu mythology, the demon Mahishasura had caused demolition in the land of God known as Devaloka. Despite the terror Goddess Durga was successful in defeating Mahishasura. She killed Mahishasura on the tenth day. That’s why the tenth day is considered the vital day of Dashain.

How is Dashain celebrated?

During the initial days of Dashain, people in every household clean their entire house and surroundings. They decorate it with beautiful new things some even paint their house to make it look new. People buy new things in Dashain every year. They buy new clothes, shoes, household items, gifts, machinery items, and many others. They visit temples to pray to different God and Goddesses. With a long period of holiday, people often travel around different places maybe for a long tour. They play cards and spend quality time with friends and families etc. Making Sel roti(Traditional ring-shaped rice bread/doughnut in Nepal) is very common and popular during Dashain.

But the main reason for Dashain is receiving blessings and love from elder people. It is commonly assumed that the tika and blessings received in Dashain from the elders bring positive outcomes.


Let’s see the important days of Dashain.

Day 1: Gatasthapana

On the first day, the festival starts traditionally with Gatasthapana, where a pot is filled with holy water which is then covered with cow dung and sewn with barley seeds. A small rectangular sand block is made and the Kalash is put in the center. This activity is done in a separate room which is formally called ‘Dashain Ghar‘. The pot or Kalash is worshipped two times a day in the morning and in the evening. Holy water is offered in it every day and on the tenth day, the seeds are fully grown to a long yellow grass of about five to six-inch-long which we call ‘Jamara‘.

Day 7: Phulpati

On the seventh day, Phulpati is celebrated. On this day, the Brahmans carry the royal Kalash filled with holy water, banana stalks, jamara, and sugar cane tied with a red cloth. This event takes place in Tudhikhel of Kathmandu. The government officials also join the phulpati parade as it heads to Hanumandhokha Royal Palace.

Day 8: Asthami

On the eight-day, asthami is celebrated where worship and sacrifice are made for Goddess Durga and Kali. On this day many conservative Hindus will be fasting. Sacrifices are held in almost every house throughout the day. The night of the eighth day is called ‘Kal Ratri‘, the dark night. Hundreds of animals such as goats, sheep, and buffaloes are sacrificed at the mother goddess temples. The sacrifice continues till dawn. While the puja is being carried out Dashain feasts are held in the homes of common people where they prepare delicious food.

Day 9: Nawami

On the ninth day, nawami is celebrated where animals mostly black buffaloes are slaughtered to honor Goddess Durga to seek her blessing. Military bands play war tunes, guns boom and officers with beautifully decorated medals in full uniform stand there. When the function ends the courtyard is filled ankle-deep with blood. On this very day the god Vishwa Karma, the God of creativity is also worshiped. This is the day where any kind of industries, factories, offices, vehicles, machinery equipment, and anything from which people make their living are worshiped. It is believed that if we worship machinery items like cars, motorbikes, jeeps, etc. then Goddess Durga will protect its owner from accidents and hazards.

Day 10: Vijaya Dashami or Tika Day

On the tenth day, which is the most important and main day, we take tika and jamara from our elders and receive their blessing. We visit our elders in their homes and get tika from them while our younger ones come to our homes to receive a blessing from us. The importance of Dashain also lies in the fact that on this day family members from far off and distant relatives come for a visit as well as to receive tika from the head of the family. This function continues for four days till the 15th day known as Kojagrata Purnima or full moon day. This is the day when Laxmi, Goddess of Wealth visits the home of each and every individual and gives blessings to everyone. And this ends the celebration of Dashain.


Lastly,

Dashain is a prestigious and longest festival in Nepal bringing lots of happiness and joy between each and every people in the nation. It is the only big festival which brings all family members, relatives and friends together. Not only in Nepal but also Hindu people or Nepalese living abroad in the US, Canada, and Australia celebrate this grand festival with lots of excitement. They visit each other’s houses, put on Tika, Jamara, and enjoy a special Dashain food feast.

One important purpose of celebrating Dashain is to maintain a good relationship between families, friends, colleagues, and each and every individual of the nation spreading positivity among all. Let the good spirit inside us win over the evil ones and celebrate this Dashain with high enthusiasm and love.

We Acme Themes team would like to wish everybody

Happy Vijaya Dashami 2023!
