21st October 2025, Kathmandu

The festive season in Nepal, anchored by Tihar (Deepawali) and swiftly followed by Chhath Puja, represents a period of peak cultural and economic activity. Tihar, the five-day Festival of Lights, centers around the worship of Goddess Laxmi, the deity of wealth, on Kartik 3, prompting families and businesses to require cash for rituals, home decorations, and festive shopping.
