dashain vibes

My experience of dashain 2074

Now first of all the day comes of ghatasthapana. That day it was the first day of vacation after our Mid Terminal Examination. That day my grandparents planted barley seeds in a pot and Father told us that the pot should not be put into the direct sunlight and should be watered only by holy water and they should take care of it for six days so that it could grow into 5 to 6 inches long yellow grasses known as Jamara.

Next was Fulpati. Fulpati is a major celebration occurring on the seventh day of Dashain. That day we didn’t do anything but our grandparents were planning to bring some nine types of Phoolpati.

Next was Maha Asthami. That day we brought a hen and sacrifice it. I was disappointed that day because I don’t like killing any animals or birds.

Next was Maha Navami. The ninth day of Dashain. That day we worshipped the machine made by irons like cars, cycle etc. We also worshipped my father tools. ‘

Next was Vijaya Dashami. That day we woke up early in the morning and became ready to go to Mama’s house. That day we wore tika and got some moneys             (Dakchina) and we came home.
