Dashain Festival Faces Challenges Amidst Economic and Social Pressures

Among Nepal's indigenous festivals, Bada Dashain, Nepal Sambat, Diwali, and Chhath are consecutively arriving. Despite the adversities of various economic, social, and natural disasters encountered this year, the hustle and bustle of Bada Dashain has already begun.

When we hear about the great festival of Nepalis, Vijaya Dashami or Dashain, we understand it as a festival of colorful atmospheres at home, the fun of swings in the villages, new clothes, receiving tika and blessings from elders, and an opportunity to meet family and relatives.
