The chariot has a framework of bamboo which is wrapped with cotton cloth usually Hakupatasi (a black traditional sari type female cloth) for women and simple sari type cloth for men. The Taha-Machas are brought out from different toles of Bhaktapur, but peculiarly, the Taha-Machas of Lakolachhen are guided by one large one that has the bamboo framework but is covered in straws. This is known as Bhailya Dya: (Bhairab) and is succeeded by Ajima (Bhadrakali) made at Khala (Ajima Dyo:Chhen)Many local musicians, and a cultural dance calledGhinta Ghisi follow in the wake of a chariot. Men are also seen wearing women's dress: Hakupatasi. People dress up funnily. There is face painting and masks are common. Children even dress up as Gods and join the parade.The Ghinta Ghisi dance is celebrated for almost a week, starting from the day of Gaijatra to Krishna Janmashtami. The dance is done in a long queen with two persons in a row hitting each other's sticks. Many cultural shows are performed, and the festival is even participated in by many nearby villages. All peoples are faint to this day.

Rakshya bandan

Rakshya bandanRaksha Bandhan' is a famous festival of Hindus. It is also called the festival of 'Rakhi'. It falls on Purnima or full moon day in the month of Shravan according to Hindu Calendar. It is celebrated across all over India. 

'Raksha' means protection and 'Bandhan' means bound. Thus 'Raksha Bandhan' means the 'Bond of Protection'. On this day, Sisters tie a special band on their brothers' wrist as a mark of affection. This thread is called the 'Rakhi'. The brothers in return takes a lifelong vow to protect their sisters. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, brothers and sisters reaffirm their pious bonds of affection. Of special significance to married women, Raksha Bandhan is rooted in the practice of territorial exogamy, in which a bride marries out of her natal village or town, and her parents, by custom, do not visit her in her married home.In rural north India, where territorial exogamy is strongly prevalent, large numbers of married Hindu women travel back to their parents' homes every year for the ceremony.^[27][28] Their brothers, who typically live with the parents or nearby, sometimes travel to their sisters' married home to escort them back. Many younger married women arrive a few weeks earlier at their natal homes and stay until the ceremony.The brothers serve as lifelong intermediaries between their sisters' married- and parental homes, as well as potential stewards of their security.Among women and men who are not blood relatives, there is also a transformed tradition of voluntary kin relations, achieved through the tying of rakhi amulets, which have cut across caste and class lines,and Hindu and Muslim divisions.In some communities or contexts, other figures, such as a matriarch, or a person in authority, can be included in the ceremony in ritual acknowledgement of their benefaction.Raksha Bandhan is also celebrated by Hindu communities in other parts of the world. Although rooted in Hindu culture, the festival has no traditional prayers unambiguously associated with it. The religious myths claimed for it are disputed, and the historical stories associated with it considered apocryphal by some historians.

dashain and tihar homework

Dashain 

Introduction

As our vacation started from 2074/6/4 , we students of grade 8 were assigned a task in which we were told to post our dashain and tihar experience in our respective blog for the allocation of 10 marks as project work after the completion of dashain festival🎉🎉🎉.So , I am going to write about my dashain experience. But initially, as dashain is regarded the greatest festival of Hinduism, I would like to write something about dashain.DashainDashain is the longest and most celebrated festival on Nepal. Dashain has it's different names. It is called dashain,bijaya dashami and dashera. The way of celebration and name different but most Nepal celebrate it for 15 days with same zeal and enthusiasm. Dashain is the celebration of victory of good over evil.Thos festival symbolizes that good always prevail over bad.My experience of dashain

Our school declared 1 month long holiday. And, I was quite overjoyed and enthusiastic for dashain celebration.After all, it arrives once in a year.I had just magnificent experience since from the day of ghatastapana.On the day of Ghatastapana,my elder brother kept grains like wheat, maize, barley and buck wheat in a dark room where there was absence of direct rays from the sun. My elder brother used to worship and water it only by holy water and used to take care of it for six days so that it could grow 5 to 6 inches long grasses which is called jamara .On the 7th day (fulpati), we bought two goats and sacrificed one goat on that day.We sacrificed goat early in the morning at sharp 4:6 A.M.Next day on Maha Asthami , we sacrificed another goat. Next day on Maha Nawami(9th day) we worshipped the machine like cycle, motorcycle and so on.Eventually, the day came which I was eagerly waiting for. That day was 10th day of dashain ( bijaya dashami). I had spectacular experience on that day.This year the time to put Tika was at sharp 11:55A.M..I was enthusiastically waiting that time. Finally, the time came, we all family members assembled and put Tika and jamara as well as received inestimable blessings from the elder members of the family.Whether it was cleaning house, putting Tika, waking up early and worshipping good everyday, I had just splendid experience this time. All of our family members gathered and put Tika,jamara and receive blessings from the elders,it was an amazing opportunity for family gathering as well. On the day of dashain, people forgot all personal enmity between them and just gather and make the splendid moment on this day. I had a lot of fun and enjoyment this year. I spent valuable time with my family. This year was my best dashain ever. I had ravishing feeling on that day. However, I didn't go to my village. But celebrating dashain in Kathmandu  just made my day special and spectacular this time.
