Dashain Festival is one of the most important festivals celebrated in Nepal and by many Hindus worldwide. It occurs every year, starting on the bright lunar fortnight of the month of Ashvin and lasting for fifteen days, typically falling in September and/or October. The festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil, with Shaktism followers commemorating the goddess Durga's triumph over the demon Mahishasura, while other Hindus associate it with Rama's victory over Ravana. Key days of the festival include the 1st, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, which are marked by religious ceremonies, prayers, and animal sacrifices. Secular traditions also play a significant role, as families strengthen their ties through activities such as kite flying and playing cards. Fairs and celebratory events are held throughout the festival, enhancing community engagement.
