Tihar Festival in Nepal (Diwali)  (Paperback, Important Events in Tihar)

This book 'Tihar Festival in Nepal (Diwali)' with subtitle 'Important Events in Tihar' presents the methods of celebrating one of the greatest festivals 'Tihar' in Nepal. This festival is known as 'Diwali' in Hindi and 'Deepawali' in Maithili. As the name suggests, Tihar is a festival of brightness. In Tihar, mainly the goddess Laxmi is worshipped. Moreover, in Nepal, some animals like Crows, dogs, Gobardhan mountain, and oxen are worshipped as the Nepalese strongly believe that every animal has its own value. Moreover, self-worship (Mha puja) and celebration of the brother-sister festival ('Bhai Tika') are also done in Tihar. Thus, this book is written to spread information about Tihar among all.
