Happy Kukur Tihar and Laxmi Puja. On Kukur Tihar,

Happy Kukur Tihar and Laxmi Puja.

On Kukur Tihar, all dogs, both stray and pets, are offered treats and worshipped. People across Nepal place tika (a ceremonial mark) and flower garlands made of marigolds around their dogs in honour of their loyalty and their spiritual connection with Yama, the god of death.

Laxmi Puja is a day dedicated to Goddess Laxmi, who represents wealth, happiness, and good fortune. On this day, people welcome Laxmi into their homes, which should be cleaned and decorated. Doorways and windows are adorned with marigold garlands, and Diyas (oil lamps) are placed throughout the houses, based on the belief that the goddess will not visit dark homes.

Happy Tihar! 🙏 Today marks the beginning of Tih

Happy Tihar! 🙏 Today marks the beginning of Tihar, also known as Yamapanchak, a five-day festival. Tihar is a time to celebrate and honour four creatures associated with Yama, the god of death.

Today is Kaag Tihar, the day dedicated to the worship of crows. Crows and ravens are believed to be messengers of Yama. Many devotees across Nepal offer grains, seeds, and sweets to crows, placing these offerings on rooftops or along the streets. Through these offerings, individuals aim to placate them and avert death for the upcoming year.

We want to give our heartfelt gratitude to Gurkha

We want to give our heartfelt gratitude to Gurkha Company (Sittang) for their support of the Gurkha Museum Trust. They are organizing a charity event on December 6, which will feature a 5 km Doko race. In this race, participants will carry weights of 15 kg, reflecting a rite of passage for every Gurkha recruit. Additionally, they will host a pay-as-you-go Gurkha curry lunch, offering attendees the chance to enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine.

To learn more about their events and show your support for these incredible Gurkha soldiers, please visit the link in our bio.
