Happy Dashain!

It's Nepalese Dashain from 28th september to 11th october! This is the longest festival in Nepal. For fifteen days, all Nepalese celebrate the triumph of their gods over demons. 
The first ten days signify the goddess Durga's battle and slaying of demon Mahisasur. The tenth day is called 'Dashami', where young Nepali receive Tika and blessings from their elders, play swings and fly kites etc. This continues until the 15th day * the last day of Dashain, which is the full moon day.
We encourage all our members and supporters to find out more about this grand festival and don't forget to wish our fellow Nepalese a Happy Dashain!!

Cheers,
Akala Youth Team.
