Democracy Day, known as Loktantra Diwas, is observed in Nepal every April 24. This public holiday commemorates the reinstatement of the Nepal House of Representatives, which occurred on April 24, 2006, following the 2006 Democracy Movement, also referred to as Jana Andolan-II. This movement involved protests and strikes led by the Seven Party Alliance and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) against King Gyanendra's absolute rule. The King officially reinstated the parliament on this date, urging the SPA to safeguard democracy and promote national unity and prosperity. The day serves as a reminder of the struggle for democratic governance in Nepal and is marked by various celebrations and reflections on the importance of democracy in the country.
