Dashain 2083 Begins Today In Nepal Dashain, the great festival of Hindus, begins today with “Ghatasthapana”. It is customary to observe “Ghatasthapana” in every household, and today also marks the day for sowing “Jamara”(sacred barley shoots). I would like to extend my Dashain greetings to all Nepalis—sisters, brothers, parents, and everyone else. On this auspicious occasion of Dashain 2083, I wish everyone happiness, peace, and joy.
As today marks the first day of Dashain, families and students alike come together to celebrate the festival. However, we must acknowledge the immense loss of life and the deep emotional pain caused by recent events in Nepal over the past few months; furthermore, just a few weeks ago, incessant rains in various locations resulted in tragic losses for many people.
I deeply empathize with those who have lost their children or suffered other personal losses. Yet, despite this, people will celebrate this auspicious Dashain in their own unique ways.
Dashain 2083 has officially begun, and you have likely been planning how to observe it at home. You may be considering where to go or what activities to undertake during the festival, perhaps even planning trips to various places. After all, this is a time for traveling, having fun, and playing.
Well, Dashain 2083 has already begun; do celebrate it in your own way, share the joy of the festival, and enjoy yourselves with your family.
