The crow and the dog is regarded as the envoy of the Yama the God of Death. On third day, I worshipped cow in the morning and at evening we performed Laxmi Puja at our house. Our house was decorated with candles, lights flowers. My mother cooked Selroti to offer Goddess Laxmi ( God of Wealth).Some of the children came to play Deusi bhailo in our home. In return my mother gave them some selroti and some amount of money.

Fourth day is called Ghobardhan puja. On this day I worshipped ox in morning. Last day is called Bhai tika. In this day at morning I took bath and went temple with my mother.After coming from temple I received tika from my brother and I also put tika to my brother. I gave some presents and sweets to my brother and in return gift he gave me a gift and money. I was very happy with the present. We clicked some photograph too.
