Teehaar(Tihar) in Nepal!

Teehar , is a occasion, when we come to meet our family , friends and rellatives!
The 'Spirit of festivity', one cannot imagine/think of , if you do not stay among them!!

This is after Deepawali, on the 2nd moon day, the sisters would apply Red Coloured Teeka upon their Brothers forehead,

The Seniors would be visited by the youngers, they would get teeka applied , and also , a 'token money' , would be received by the juniors...

Last 5 days , it's a holiday , markets closed, even eatery too , are closed!!

Childern, come to your door, singing praises for you, beating 'Maadaal', it's a great experince!
You pay them some money, which is graciously acknoledged!

The Seniors , including ladies , too , would gather on the street chowks, have music and good quality sound systems, they would sing and dance, people would also support and share!!
Great Feelings and experience, volunatry donations are accepted, not asked for!

In the nearby temples, people would gather and sing Bhajans, many together!!!

A whole lot of community family feeling!!

Girls , putting on attractive dresses, women in good dresses, no eyebrows raised!!
Such Joyous feelings & events are a rare commodity!!

Great Nepal & Nepalese!
