After a long holiday offices are open in Nepal. The Ten days festival commonly known as
Dashain is over. People who went to their homes out side the Kathmandu
are back. As such once again the KathmanduValley has started
suffering from over population and pollution. Streets once again are jammed due
to heavy traffic. For a couple of days they will talk about the Dashain. Then
they will start talking about the Brother festival which is going to be started
from October 15th and will be celebrated for 5 days. In Nepal it is known as "Bhai Tika"
("Bhai" means brother).People will worship the crow on the first day.
Dog will be worshipped on the second day, Cow on third day, Ox on fourth day
and Brother on 5th day. This will be the second biggest Hindu festival. Those
who do not have their own Brothers and Sisters will visit temples. Offices will
be closed on October 18th and 19th only.
