The festival that all Nepali in or out of Nepal await, the festival that binds us as one is Dashain. Dashain is the longest and the most auspicious festival in the Nepalese annual calendar, celebrated by Nepalese of all caste and creed throughout the country.Dashain is the festival that belongs to all Nepalis,regardless of creed, ethnicity or religion. As the entire nation goes on a week-long holidays, this is a time of celebration for all.A time to forget about work and pending assignments,a time to spend hours around dinning tables eating, laughing and talking, a time to spend with family and friends, a time to have fun.Dashain is the largest of all the festivals of Nepal and celebrated with great rejoice and zeal.
 During Dashain, we visit those relatives whom we have not visited for the rest of the year.The best part of Dashain is getting invited by our relatives to celebrate with them, receiving Tika and Jamara and blessing with lots of delicious food. We get new dresses, fly kites and play swing, enjoy the whole week-end,
leaving all the worries behind. Dashain is all about having fun.
