India is known for its vibrant festivals. One such festival that holds a significant place in every Indian’s heart is Diwali, the festival of lights. Characterized by lights, sweets, family gatherings, and fireworks, Diwali is celebrated with enthusiasm and joy across the entire country of India. However, did you know that our neighbouring country Nepal also celebrates Diwali, albeit with slight cultural variations?
Diwali in Nepal – Tihar Festival, A Multi-Dimensional Celebration
Contrary to our one-day affair of Diwali, Nepal celebrates Diwali for five days, where it is famously referred to as the Tihar Festival. It’s a unique celebration of life, kinship, and culture that is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and offers an unforgettable experience.
Day 1: Kaag Tihar – Worshipping the Crow
The first day of Tihar observes the worship of the crow, considered an incarnation of Lord Rama. People offer sweet dishes and fruits, expressing gratitude and seeking blessings from the crow, believed to be a messenger of death in Nepalese mythology.
Day 2: Kukur Tihar – Honouring the Dog
The second day, coined “Kukur Tihar,” honours dogs for their loyalty and service to humans. The pets and stray dogs alike are adorned with flower garlands and offered sweet treats as a gesture of respect and appreciation.
