Celebrating The Completion Of Dasain Festival
By KTM Metro Reporter
October 19, 2013: Nepalis have celebrated the completion of the Dasain festival yesterday following their tradition. Nepalis disposed of the leftover buckwheat seedlings, and the sand used for growing them at the entrances of their home or at the rivers or streams or any other water sources.
Some Hindu Nepalis have made huge clay idols of the eighteen-limbed Durga Bhavani. They made offerings to the idols during the Dasain days. At the end of the Dasain festival, they took the idols to nearby rivers and dispose them of.
Some Nepalis have made offerings to the Goddess Maha-Laxmi: one of the main manifestations of Goddess Durga Bhavani on the evening of the last day of Dasain festival. They kept the lights on for the night believing that the Goddess Maha-Laxmi would skip visiting the unlighted homes.
The Buddhist Nevah community cleans up the Buddhist shrines called ‘cai-taya’, and paint them white with the quicklime solutions and make offerings to the Buddha on the four directions of ‘cai-taya.
Devotees visited the shrines of temples of Goddess Durga Bhavani all over Nepal yesterday.
