Cool breeze, kites in the sky, crowded shops and people heading home in droves. Yes, all these phenomena indicate that Nepalis are gearing up for their greatest festival – Dashain. It carries key cultural identity of Nepalis.
September to November is the festive peak season in Nepal, marked by celebrations of Teej, Jitiya, Dashain, Tihar, Chhath, and the commencement of the New Year, according to Nepal Sambat. Along with Bikram Sambat and the Gregorian calendar, Nepal Sambat is one of the country's various calendars.
The nation is embraced by a joyful atmosphere as Dashain, a revered Hindu festival, begins. For the younger generation, Dashain signifies extended holidays, the allure of new attire, and the delight of savouring meals. While, for the elders, it is a time marked by the joy of reuniting with family and relatives.
The Dashain festival serves as a commemoration of the indomitable power embodied by Goddess Durga. She represents feminine energy, shielding her devotees from various forms of suppression, domination, and oppression.
Every year, during Dashain, Kathmandu Valley sheds its crowded ambiance, appearing almost deserted. Millions of Nepalis, typically temporary residents, travel back to their hometowns, leaving the valley noticeably vacant. This mass exodus creates a unique stillness in contrast to the usual lively atmosphere.
The biggest celebration for all Nepalis is Dashain. The occasion offers the chance to bring the entire family together, enjoy delectable food, and receive Tika, Jamara, and blessings from elders, especially grandparents and parents. During Dashain, a significant number of individuals embrace the festive spirit by indulging in a feast of mutton and various meat delicacies.
During the festive season, joy abounds, and we often find ourselves relishing delectable homemade meals more than usual. In Nepal, Dashain and Tihar festivals are closely associated with delightful culinary experiences, and it's only natural for us to indulge in a variety of foods, ranging from meat dishes to sweet treats.
