Dashain
Dashain is the biggest festival of all the Nepalese people. It is celebrated for 15 days with a great joy and happiness.Ghatasthapana is one of the most important days on the Nepali calendar. It comes each year in late September to early October. It literally means installing a pot which symbolizes Goddess Shakti. On the first day, we spreaded Barley over the sand. When it grows, the young plant is called jamara which is used in main day tika.
The seventh day of Dashain is called Fulpati. This day I wake up early and I went temple with my parents. After coming from temple the head of family my grandfather brought fulpati inside our home.All the family members celebrate a fulpati in a great way. After fulpati it comes Asthami. On this day Our family sacrifice one goat to the temple of Goddess Durga and Kali. After sacrificing animal we return to home. I have a lot of fun with my brother, sister, cousin by playing cards and swing. I also fly kite with my brother. The tenth day of Dashain is called Tika. In this day I received tika from my elders. It was really fun having all the family members together. This day has been always my best day during Dashain time. After receiving tika from my elders I went my maternal uncle's house to put tika. Their I received tika from my grandfather and maternal uncle. I played swing with my sister also.
It was unforgetable day for me. It was really good time to have all family members and relatives together.
