Tihar
26/10/2009 - 30/10/2009
Place of event: Throughout Nepal
Tihar is a much awaited event for the young and the old all alike as it includes a lot of things like worshipping, cooking, painting, singing, lighting, and so on. This is the only time of the year when firecrackers are publicly used, although highly discouraged by the authorities.
Also observed only during Tihar is the festive singing of typical songs called 'Deusi' and 'Bhailo' by the locals. They often form small groups and go from door to door to spread well wishes through their songs and expecting some offerings (money or sweets).
