अमेरिकाको दशैँ तिहार मेला (Dashain Tihar Fair in America)
The Dashain Tihar Festival in America is a vibrant celebration of Nepali culture and tradition by the Nepali diaspora living in the United States. It brings together communities to honor the two major festivals of Nepal-Dashain, which celebrates the victory of good over evil, and Tihar, the festival of lights that honors relationships and prosperity.
During the festival, traditional rituals such as receiving tika and jamara, lighting oil lamps, and performing pujas are observed. Cultural performances including folk dances, songs, and storytelling showcase Nepal’s rich heritage. The festival also features stalls with Nepali food, traditional crafts, and attire, creating a lively and colorful atmosphere.
In addition to cultural significance, the festival strengthens community ties, allowing Nepali families and individuals to connect, share in their customs, and pass down traditions to younger generations while celebrating far from home. The Dashain Tihar Festival in America serves as a cultural bridge, maintaining the essence of these beloved festivals for Nepali-Americans.
