Dashain festival
As our vacation started from 2074/6/4 , we students of grade 8 were assigned a task in which we were told to post our dashain and tihar experience in our respective blog for the allocation of 10 marks as project work after the completion of dashain festival🎉🎉🎉.So , I am going to write about my dashain experience. But initially, as dashain is regarded the greatest festival of Hinduism, I would like to write something about dashain.
Dashain
Dashain is the longest and most celebrated festival on Nepal. Dashain has it's different names. It is called dashain,bijaya dashami and dashera. The way of celebration and name different but most Nepal celebrate it for 15 days with same zeal and enthusiasm. Dashain is the celebration of victory of good over evil.Thos festival symbolizes that good always prevail over bad.
Tika and jamara
Our school declared 1 month long holiday. And, I was quite overjoyed and enthusiastic for dashain celebration.After all, it arrives once in a year.I had just magnificent experience since from the day of ghatastapana.
On the day of Ghatastapana,my elder brother kept grains like wheat, maize, barley and buck wheat in a dark room where there was absence of direct rays from the sun. My elder brother used to worship and water it only by holy water and used to take care of it for six days so that it could grow 5 to 6 inches long grasses which is called jamara .
On the 7th day (fulpati), we bought two goats and sacrificed one goat on that day.We sacrificed goat early in the morning at sharp 4:6 A.M.
Next day on Maha Asthami , we sacrificed another goat. Next day on Maha Nawami(9th day) we worshipped the machine like cycle, motorcycle and so on.
Eventually, the day came which I was eagerly waiting for. That day was 10th day of dashain ( bijaya dashami). I had spectacular experience on that day🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🌼🌼.This year the time to put Tika was at sharp 11:55A.M..I was enthusiastically waiting that time. Finally, the time came, we all family members assembled and put Tika and jamara as well as received inestimable blessings from the elder members of the family.Whether it was cleaning house, putting Tika, waking up early and worshipping good everyday, I had just splendid experience this time. All of our family members gathered and put Tika,jamara and receive blessings from the elders,it was an amazing opportunity for family gathering as well. On the day of dashain, people forgot all personal enmity between them and just gather and make the splendid moment on this day.
I had a lot of fun and enjoyment this year. I spent valuable time with my family. This year was my best dashain ever. I had ravishing feeling on that day. However, I didn't go to my village. But celebrating dashain in Kathmandu just made my day special and spectacular this time🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
