Chaite Dashain

          Chaite Dashain 2078


Samjhana Bhattarai 
Kavrepalanchok, 9April

This year 26 Chaitra is the the day of the Nepali festival named Chaite Dashain which is  celebrated same as  "Dashain". Chaite Dashain is likely a hindu festival which comes every year in the nepali last  month called chaitra ( April month). 

As a hindu we have a lots of festivals within 12 months, where Dashain and Tihar are taken most important festivals among Hindus including other regions as well. While talking about Chaite Dashain can be called mini Dashain as it as exactly a "Dashain". The only difference in both of them is that Dashain is like a final day of some previous days like Ghatastapana, phulpati ,Nawami and lastly dashain. Chaite dashain is celebrated in a simple way by putting Red Tika on our forehead by elder member of the family and given some money. Family gather together and have some special food on this day like meat, pickle, drinks, fruits etc. Relatives gathering is not compulsory in chaite dashain which is not same as Dashain.  

It is said "dashain" is used to be celebrated in chaitra but it started effecting the health of people, because of hot weather  and food storing is not possible in this month so hot climate might be the reason why Chaitra became the month of chaite dashain and Dashain was began to be celebrated in between September- October. We are rich in culture and festivals so we do have a lots of festivals.
