Nepal's Mud Festival-Ashar 15



            Nepal being an agriculture based country, celebrates each sphere of  agriculture supporting it uniquely naming them in the form of Festival. Instances are Kirat Rai community celebrates Ubhauli Festival as praying mother nature for good crops and protection from natural calamities, Sakela-Udhauli Festival for rice harvesting and thanking god for good crops and most importantly every farmer from all communities of Nepal celebrates Ashar -15, considered as Dahi Chiura( Yogurt & beaten rice) eating Festival along with rice plantation. 


Dahi-Chiura

           Ashar (Mid June) being the major monsoon season in Nepal, is the month of rice plantation across the country. Mainly in the Hilly areas of Nepal, the day Ashar 15 is celebrated as Ropai(Plantation) Festival. It could be visualized as Oxen ploughing fields, women sowing seeds and men digging the fields. The best part of this festival is throwing mud at each other and being drenched all over with muddy water along with the rice plantation. It is the day of fun and enjoyment for all the farmers. More than considering it as a working day, they shares happiness, bonding and pray for good crops. 


Enjoying Mud Throwing

        This year the Earthquake on late April had a huge impact on everyday life of Nepalese specially in hilly areas. Although the farmers based even in highly affected areas recovered themselves to best and resumed their casual cultivation and welcomed monsoon. We all pray for the good crops, happiness, shared bonding, relief from earthquake and most of all the positive approach to life at any spheres of life. Happy Ashar 15;Happy Farmers Day ;Lets Enjoy Dahi Chiura :)
