Tihar, also known as Deepawali (The Festival of Lights), is a five-day Hindu festival celebrated with lights, music, and joy across Nepal. Each day has a special meaning. Kaag Tihar honors crows as messengers, while Kukur Tihar worships dogs for loyalty. On Gai Tihar, cows are revered, and in the evening, Laxmi Puja welcomes the goddess of wealth with lamps and decorations. The fourth day includes Govardhan Puja and the Newar celebration of Mha Puja, marking the Nepal Sambat New Year. Finally, Bhai Tika strengthens the bond between brothers and sisters. Tihar spreads prosperity, happiness and cultural harmony throughout Nepal.
