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 nicely. But luckily an aunt invited us for Tika. So on the day of Tika me and my family went to that aunt’s house. We had Tika, blessings and then a delicious meal.

 Some of my photos on the day of tika:




On the last day of my Dashain Vacation I found out that the vacation was extended upto Tihar. Then I decided to go to my aunts house. I stayed there for 6 days. Me and my 2 cousins played carom board in their house. We played cards and watched movies. So My dashain experience was quite amazing.

Bhoto Jatra Bhoto Jatra (the traditional Bhoto display ceremony of Macchindranath). Bhoto means sleeveless vest and Jatra means festival. According to the Jatra rituals, the head of the state has to worship the deity .With the "bhoto display ceremony" ends the month-long Machhindranath festival and the idols then are taken back to their own places (Machhindranath to Bungmati and Minnath to Patan) It is believed that this Bhoto (vest ) was rewarded to a farmer by Karkot Naga (king of serpents) for curing the eye ailment of his Queen. But the farmer lost the Bhoto while working in his field. A year later when the farmer went to attend the Machhindranath festival at Jawalakhel, he saw the same giant wearing his vest. The farmer then started a fight with the giant.The Karkot Naga was also there . He then submitted the Bhoto to Machhindranath for safe keeping until someone claims it with evidence.   July 29, 2016 The month long chariot pulling festival of Rato Machindr

Programming Concept QBASIC: 1.        Input any string and reverse it. CLS INPUT "ENTER ANY STRING"; A$ FOR I = LEN(A$) TO 1 STEP -1 B$ = MID$(A$, I, 1) C$ = C$ + B$ NEXT I PRINT "REVERSED STRING IS "; C$ END 2.        Input any string and check whether the given string is palindrome or not. CLS INPUT "ENTER ANY STRING"; A$ FOR I = LEN(A$) TO 1 STEP -1 B$ = MID$(A$, I, 1) C$ = C$ + B$ NEXT I IF A$ = C$ THEN PRINT  A$; “IS PALINDROME” ELSE PRINT A$; “IS NOT PALINDROME” END IF END 3.        Count total no. of vowels in a given string .
