Trip Overview
Dashain is the longest and the most important festival of Nepal. Generally Dashain festival falls in late September to mid-October, right after the monsoon season in Nepal. Dashain gets many different nicknames as Dasara, Bada Dashain, Vijaya Dashain, Durga Puja, all of which mean the same thing, Dashain, a day of Victory over Demons.
According to the legend, the bloodthirsty Goddess, Durga conquered evils on the Dashain day. A huge amount of animal sacrifices take place during the festival in temples and in-home to please the Goddess Durga. Some people may take such animal sacrifices negatively but they might forget how they came by their meat on their plate! There are lots of western countries consuming mass amounts of meat, animals are sluttered in factories by hundreds and thousands. The final day of the festival is known as `Tika’, a day on which the elder ones give `Tika’ to the younger ones and to other relatives who come for their blessings.
