Hindus Great festival
Dashain
Dashain is the
greatest festival of Nepal Hindus. Like other festivals, it is also based on
the lunar clendar and falls in the months of Aswin or Kartik. Dashain is
observed for 15 days from the new moon day (Ghatasthapana) to the full moon day
(Kojagrat Purnima). It is a festival of great delight, enthusiasm and rapture.
The time of Dashain is very fine. The weather is fair
and mild. There is no more mud or dust. Farmers are getting relief from their
tiring season of plantations and weddings. Schools, colleges, factories and
offices remain close. Fair and pleasant weather, ripening and rustling crops,
busy roads and paths, crowded shops, speedy renovations and cleanliness of
roads, temples, taps, etc., and decorations all indicate the arrival of the
greatest festival.
My experience of Dashain 2072 was very good. It was
really awesome. Our school closed from 28th Ashoj after the mid
terminal examination. I enjoyed my Dashain vacation and had a very good time
with my parents and relatives.
7th day
(Fulpati)
Karthik 3rd was the fulpati day
the 7th day of dashain.In that day We all woke up early in the
morning.We did puja and went to pashupati mandir. I was a bit sad also because
for the first time due to economic blockade I was unable to go to my village.My
sister luckily went village with my elder brothers.SO my uncle,aunty me and my
small brother were here.Because We were getting bored
So we made a plan to visit Bhrikutimandav for shopping
and entertainment.But due to economic blockade We had to go by
walking.So we first went to Bhatbhatini Shopping mall did some shopping there
and then went to Ratnapark to go to Bhrikutimandav.We had very fun playing
adventurous games.
When we came back home we were very tired.
8th
day(Astami)
In the eighth day we all woke up early in
the morning.It was a pleasant morning. That day also we went to Pashupatinath
and did puja there than came back home and sacrificed animals i.e. goat to eat
the meat. Since we were not going to our villages so we had called our father’s
sisters (fupu) to come to take meal in our house. It was a family gathering.They
arrived at 10:00 o’clock and whole day we enjoyed playing cards, gossiping and
eating delicious dishes. Whole day we had a great fun. I enjoyed a lot with my
sisters and their sons and daughters.
9th day
(Nawami, Dashami)
This time in Dashain Nawami and Dashami was
in the same day.
In the morning we did puja and nine girls
including me were called to do puja in that day.the time to put tika was on
sharp 10:55.I was very eagerly waiting for that time. Finally at 10:55 exactly
we kept tika and I got blessings from my elders which were priceless.After
sometime we went to our relative’s home and mamghar to put tika.
We clicked too many photos and made it
memorable.
