Dashain, also known as "Vijaya Dashami," is a monumental occasion celebrated with great enthusiasm by Nepali people around the world. This annual festival holds a special place in the hearts of Nepalis, bringing families together, irrespective of their location. People from cities embark on journeys to their villages, reuniting with loved ones, and sharing blessings.
Dashain marks the victory of good over evil and is a time to honor the goddess Durga. This festival lasts for fifteen days, with the main event taking place on the tenth day. It symbolizes the triumph of truth over falsehood and justice over injustice.
On the main day of Dashain, families gather to receive tika (a mixture of yogurt, rice, and vermillion) and jamara (barley grass). Elders bless the younger family members, and this tradition fosters love and respect among relatives.
During Dashain, children, and adults take to the skies with colorful kites, and swing sets called "ping" are set up in villages. These activities symbolize the joy and merriment associated with the festival.
City dwellers travel to their ancestral homes in rural areas to reconnect with their roots, celebrate with family, and enjoy the simple pleasures of village life.
No festival is complete without scrumptious food. Dashain feasts include mouthwatering dishes like sel roti, goat curry, and traditional sweets.
