The year 2081 in the Bikram Sambat calendar, the official calendar of Nepal, corresponds to the Gregorian year 2024-2025. Dashain, the most significant festival in Nepali culture, falls within this period, typically in the autumn season (September or October). It is a multi-day celebration dedicated to Goddess Durga and signifies the victory of good over evil.
This period holds immense cultural and religious importance for the Nepali people, both within Nepal and in the diaspora. Dashain fosters family reunions, strengthens community bonds, and reaffirms cultural identity. The festival is marked by vibrant rituals, including animal sacrifices in some traditions, the receiving of blessings from elders (tika), and the flying of kites. Historically, Dashain has been celebrated for centuries, evolving from ancient Vedic traditions and reflecting Nepal’s rich history and cultural heritage.
