Tihar, also known as Deepawali or Diwali, is the second most important festival in Nepal, celebrated over five days in late October or early November. The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. In 2025, Tihar will be celebrated from November 11th to November 15th.
Tihar is a time for families and friends to come together and celebrate. It is also a time to reflect on the past year and to pray for good fortune in the year to come. During Tihar, people decorate their homes with lights and flowers, and they exchange gifts and sweets. They also participate in traditional games and dances.
