πΈ Happy Dashain 2081! πΈ
Dashain, the longest and most celebrated festival in Nepal, holds significant historical and cultural value. π It commemorates the victory of good over evil, symbolized by the goddess Durga's triumph over the demon Mahishasura. This festival is rooted in Hindu mythology, dating back thousands of years, and is celebrated by Nepalese people with great reverence. πΈπ
Traditionally, Dashain is a time for families to gather, pay respect to elders, and offer blessings for prosperity and well-being. Homes are cleaned and adorned, and tika (a mixture of rice, yogurt, and vermilion) and jamara (barley shoots) are offered to family members as blessings for health, happiness, and success. πΎπ¨
