Nepal iyaphila ngemikhosi namuhla njengoba ibona i-Dashain, a umkhosi wamaHindu obalulekile okufanekisa ukunqoba kokuhle phezu kokubi. Abantu ezweni lonke bashintshisana ngezibusiso, benza amasiko, futhi bathola uTika noJamara kwabadala.
I-Dashain, evame ukubizwa ngokuthi “Vijaya Dashami,” kuphawula ukunqoba okuhle phezu kobubi nokunqoba kukankulunkulukazi uDurga phezu kwedemoni uMahishasura. Ngokwenye inganekwane yamaHindu, uDashain naye uphawula usuku lapho iNkosi uRama yanqoba uRavana omubi futhi yakhulula uSita ekuthunjweni kwakhe.
Abantu baseNepal ezweni lonke bahlanganyela emasikweni esintu, badla nemindeni yabo, futhi babusisa nezilokotho ezinhle. Lo mkhosi, othatha izinsuku ezingu-15, waqala ngokutshalwa kwembewu yebhali eyaziwa ngokuthi “iJamara,” ngosuku lweGhatasthapana futhi ngosuku lweshumi (namuhla), abazinikele benza imithandazo futhi bathole iTika (ingxube yeyogathi, irayisi, kanye ne-vermilion) kanye noJamara kwabadala babo. Yisikhathi sokuhlangana kwemindeni, izibusiso, nokucobelelana ngamasiko.
Abantu bayaqhubeka nokuvakashela izihlobo zabo futhi bathole uTika ezinye izinsuku ezinhlanu kuze kube yiPurnima (inyanga egcwele).
Umkhosi yisikhathi sokuhlangana kwemindeni, ukushintshana kwamasiko, nobumbano, futhi naphezu kwezinselele, uyaqhubeka nokugqama njengetshe eliyigugu lamasiko emqhele waseNepal. Izivakashi nazo zihlanganyela emikhosini, zijabulela amasiko acebile aseNepal nokungenisa izihambi okufudumele.
