My Dashain Experience Dashain is the longest and the most important festival of Nepal. Generally Dashain falls in late September to mid October, right after the monsoon season in Nepal. Dashain gets many different nick names as Dasara, Bada Dashain, Vijaya Dasami and Durga Puja all which mean the same thing, Dashain, a day of victory over demons. According to the legend, the bloodthirsty Goddess Durga conquered evils on the day also known as Dashain. Huge amount of animal sacrifices take place during this festival in temples and in home to please Goddess Durga. Some people may take such animal sacrifices negatively but they might forget how meat came on their plate! The final day of the festival is known as “Tika”, a day on which the elder ones put tika on the youngers forehead along with blessings. After the finishing of my Mid Terminal Examination 2072, I had 11 days holiday. Mainly Hindus celebrate Dashain and Since I am a Buddhist, I couldn’t celebrate Dashain ni
