Dashain
What is mean by Dashain?
During the month of Kartik (late
September and early October), the Nepalese people indulge in the biggest
festival of the year, Dashain. Dashain is the longest and the most auspicious
festival in the Nepalese annual calendar, celebrated by Nepalese of all caste
and creed throughout the country. The fifteen days of celebration occurs during
the bright lunar fortnight ending on the day of the full moon. Thorough out the
kingdom of Nepal the goddess Durga in all her manifestations are worshiped with
innumerable pujas, abundant offerings and thousands of animal sacrifices for
the ritual holy bathing, thus drenching the goddess for days in blood.How I celebrate dashain?
In 2015 dashain festival is started on 26 asoj In preparation for Dashain every home is cleaned and beautifully decorated, painted as an invitation to the mother goddess, so that she may visit and bless the house with good fortune. Like that we also celebrate by cleaning and decorating, painting house My experience of Dashain 2072 was very good. It was really awesome. Our school closed from 28th Ashoj after the mid terminal examination. I enjoyed my Dashain vacation and had a very good time with my parents and relatives. .Ghatasthapana
The first day is called ghatasthapana. Ghatasthapana is one
of the significant rituals during Navratri. It marks the beginning of nine days
festivity. Our scriptures have well defined rules and guidelines to perform
Ghatasthapana during a certain period of time at the beginning of Navratri.I celebrate ghatasthapana by planting
jamara. And worshiping nava durga. There were exam in our school. So, I
didn’t celebrate nicely.Fulpati
As days passes by regular rituals are observed till the
seventh day. The seventh day is called 'Fulpati'.
Phool is Flower and pati is leaves and plants. FulPati literally means flowers, leaves and
plants. There is a tradition in Nepal of bringing nine types of Phoolpati into
the pooja room of the house with a celebration in the seventh day of Navaratri
Pooja. Therefore, the seventh day of Vijaya Dashami is also called Phoolpati in
Nepal. I
bring nine types of of Phoolpati into the pooja room of the house with a
celebration in the seventh day of Navaratri Pooja.
Ashtami
The eighth day of Vijayadashami is called Maha
Asthami. Durga Bhawani and Kali mata
(different names and incarnations) are worshiped with very high dedication.
People sacrifice animals to Goddess.
The puja continues with feasts in most of the celebration homes. People
in Kathmandu generally make syabaji In this day. Syabaji, roasted beaten rice,
is a traditional Nepali food. We cut
goat at the temple. We ate kuchhi bhwa.
Nawami
The ninth day is called nawami. On this very day the god
Vishwa Karma, the God of creativity is also worshiped. All factories, vehicles,
any machinery instruments and anything from which we make a living are
worshiped. We also give sacrifices to all moving machinery like cars, trucks
etc. to get the blessing from goddess Durga for protection for vehicles and
their occupants against accidents during the year. The entire day is colourful.
Dashami
The tenth day is the Dashami: On this day we take tika and
jamara from our elders and receive their blessing. We visit our elders in their
home and get tika from them while our younger ones come to our home to receive
blessing from us. The importance of Dasain also lies in the fact that on this
day family members from far off and distant relatives come for a visit as well
as to receive tika from the head of the family. This function continues for
four days. After four days of rushing around and meeting your relatives Dashain
ends on the full moon day, the fifteenth day.
