Subha Dipawali - Happy Tihar

Tihar (Nepali: तिहार), also known as Deepawali and Yamapanchak, is a five-day-long Hindu festival celebrated primarily in Nepal and some parts of India such as Darjeeling district, Kalimpong district, Sikkim, and Assam. It is the festival of lights, as diyas are lit inside and outside the houses to illuminate at night. It is known as Swanti among the Newars. Set in the Bikram Samvat calendar, the festival begins with Kaag Tihar in Trayodashi of Kartik Krishna Paksha and ends with Bhai Tika in Dwitiya of Kartik Sukla Paksha every year.
