Kukur Tihar And Lakshmi Puja Are On The Same Day Today In Nepal 2081 Dog Puja and Lakshmi Puja are being performed today on the third day of Tihar, the second biggest festival of Nepali. Although Kukur Tihar falls on the second day of Yamapanchak i.e. Diwali festival, this year it falls on the third day due to the fluctuation of dates. That is why the Nepal Panchang Adjudicatory Development Committee has said that you should worship the dog in the morning and worship Lakshmi in the evening.
On the day of Kattik Krishna Chaturdashi, the dogs are given their favourite food, Shyam and Sabal, who live as gatekeepers at Yamraj’s door, leave the road when they go to Yamalok. Ramchandra Gautam says.
Today is also called Narak Chaturdashi. It is a religious belief that if you go to various shrines, rivers or ponds, take a bath, do Tarpan and light the Yamdeep facing south, you will not have to visit hell after death.
This morning, the house is clean and tidy and Lakshmi is invited to do Diwali with cow dung and red soil. Today, Diwali is celebrated by cleaning especially the windows, doors, chota, room, Sanghar, Kausi, Atali and Varyang of the house. This festival is also known as Deep Malika.
Step by step, a lamp is lit on a piece of banana or clay to make it shimmer. Nowadays, the trend of lighting candles instead of lamps has also started to increase. But it is a Vedic tradition to light the lamp by putting oil in the lamp according to theologian Prof. Dr. Ramchandra Gautam says.
After Diwali, Lakshmi and Kuber are installed in the pooja room along with lamps, Kalash and Ganesha and worshipped Lakshmi ritually by offering ornaments, money, paddy, rice, fruits, cell roti and flower garlands.
After Lakshmi Puja, it is customary to give Dakshina to girls and girls as symbols of Lakshmi. It is a religious belief that after Lakshmi Puja at home today, if you send wealth or other items outside the house, Lakshmi will go out.
Today, those who come to play Bhailo are given paddy, rice, garlands, money and cell roti. There is a religious belief that such a donation is a gift of Kattik, and if it is not given, it will not be good and if it is given, it will bring merit.
On the occasion of Lakshmi Puja, today in the city bazaar, Diwali is made and glittered. According to the clan tradition, there is also a practice of worshipping cows in the morning. Classically, it is mentioned that cow worship should be done only after the Kattik Shukla Pratipada after Aunsi. Devmani Bhattarai said.
