festivals

we nepalese celebrated a number of festivals among them dashain,tihar,teej,loshar,buddhajayanti e.t.c are celebrated at national level and very famous.some festivals are observed in certain areas only and so they are regional festivals.for example chhath jurshital and jitiya are regional festivals observed in the terai only though due to migration they are celebrated now in kathamandu valley also similarly lhosar is observed mainly in the mountains ghodejatra occurs only in kathmandu.gauraparva is observed in the far west.festivals like jitiya and saptadora are performed by women only in the terai festivals like chitragupta pooja is performed only by kyastha.festivals also represent our culture.they are based on religion,social customs and hygiene festivals like dashain,krishnajayanti,janaipurnima,budddhajayanti,sarswatipooja e.t.c are religious festivals.marriage,bratabhanda e.t.c are social festivals.whatever the base festivals give us delight we forget the worries of life for the time being.they are means of recreation which we hardly have else how in our busy life.festivals are the occasion when we meet our friends and relatives in fact we enjoy festivals very much.
