Nepal is only Hindu country in the world. We observe several festivals throughout the year. Dashain is the most important of them. Right in a fortnight after Dashain the festival of Tihar or Dipawali takes place. It is celebrated in the month of October.
This festival is knoen as 'Panchak' also as it lasts for five days. Children as well as the youth rejoice with fireworks or firecrackers in the evenings. On Laxmi Puja evening rows of burning candles at every house catch our eyes. Hence, Tihar is called the festivalof light as well. Each day of the 'Panchak' has its own siginificance.
During the festival we worship the 'crow' the animal 'dog' and the 'ox' and the 'coe' for their special service to us. On the
fifth day sisters worship their brothers putting colourful 'Teekas' on their foreheads and floral garlands around their necks. This is called the 'Brother's Day' ot 'Bhai Teeka'. This festival strengthens the holy relationship betwee brothers and sisters.
