Nepal marked the celebration of one of its biggest festivals – Tihar on October 27, 2019.
On the occasion, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli extended his greetings to Nepalis at home and abroad with the message that ‘Tihar is the festival of a balance between various sides of the nature.’
The Prime Minister added that the festival has helped maintain balance between various sides of nature and self-respect through worship of humans and different animals.
“Worshipping of animals and birds including the crow, goddess Laxmi, cow and ox reflects the balance between various sides of the nature,” said PM Oli.
He further added that Tihar can also be perceived with different angles such as the festival of light, festival of flowers and the union of brothers and sisters.
