No one can prove us wrong if we say this is the perfect time in Nepal to learn about Nepalese religious festivals. These days' Nepalese people are busy in celebrating the greatest festival ‘Dashain' which is followed up by another great festival ‘Dipawali' commonly called as Tihar.
Dashain (Dashain 15 days in September or October) is the most important of all celebrations. Tens of thousands of Nepalese people hit the road to return home to celebrate with their families.

The most important days, when everything comes to total halt, are ninth day ( when animals are sacrificed to pleased goddess Durga), and the tenth day( when blessing are received from elder relatives and superiors). The final day of dashain is on the full moon in September or October.
This year all Hindu Nepali celebrated Dashain festival from 12 th to 27 th of October.

Tihar is the Second greatest festival of Nepal. All Hindu Nepalese celebrates this festival for 5 days in October and November. In the First day of Tihar Nepali pray the Crows (bird), which is taken as messengers of god and goddess. In 2nd day they pray the Dogs, which is taken as guard. In 3rd day they pray the Oxen, which is taken as Transport of god. In 4 th day people pray to goddess Laxmi , she is the goddess of wealth. In Final day Sister pray God Bali (God of Death) for long life of their brother which is commonly called as Baitika . In this occasion Sister puts Tika to her brother forehead and brother gives gift to their sister.
