My experience on dashain
On the day of Ghatastapana,my elder
brother kept grains like wheat, maize, barley and buck wheat in a dark room
where there was absence of direct rays from the sun. My elder brother used to
worship and water it only by holy water and used to take care of it for six
days so that it could grow 5 to 6 inches long grasses which is called jamara
.
On the 7th day (fulpati), we bought two goats and sacrificed one goat on that day.We sacrificed goat early in the morning at sharp 4:6 A.M.
Next day on Maha Asthami , we sacrificed another goat. Next day on Maha Nawami(9th day) we worshipped the machine like cycle, motorcycle and so on.
Eventually, the day came which I was eagerly waiting for. That day was 10th day of dashain ( bijaya dashami). I had spectacular experience on that day.This year the time to put Tika was at sharp 11:55A.M..I was enthusiastically waiting that time. Finally, the time came, we all family members assembled and put Tika and jamara as well as received inestimable blessings from the elder members of the family.Whether it was cleaning house, putting Tika, waking up early and worshipping good everyday, I had just splendid experience this time. All of our family members gathered and put Tika,jamara and receive blessings from the elders,it was an amazing opportunity for family gathering as well. On the day of dashain, people forgot all personal enmity between them and just gather and make the splendid moment on this day.

Laxmi puja
On this day, we cleaned our house. I was really very excited on this day. I plastered my hose with cow dung and red clay. I also made footprints of goddess Laxmi and also colourful rangoli with colored rice, dry flour and coloured sand in order to welcome wealth and prosperity.
We worshipped cows in the morning as well as we worshipped goddess Laxmi with paan, Bhai masala, and other beauty products and sweets and so on. We kept colourful lights in our home. In the night, we lightened oil lamps on doorways and windows. I also played deusi and bhailo with my four friends . We played bhailo up to 12:20o'clock. All paople appreciated our dance. We collected money as a tip from houses and shared the bounty among ourselves.
Bhai Tika
On the day of bhaitika, !e and my sister put Tika to our cousin brother as our brother is in abroad. We put Tika in his forehead, circled him by dripping oil on the floor from a copper pitcher and applied oil on his head as well as applied seven- colour Tika in his forhead. And he also performed same tradition with an exchange of gifts.
