My Tihar (2065)

This year I went to Pokhara to celebrate the festival of Brother-Sister (Tihar). There is my eldest sister. I left Kathmandu at 12 pm before the day of Vai Tika, the last and the most important day of Tihar that continues for five days.

I had a digital camera. I tried to capture beautiful scenes but because of the speed of the bus I could arrest only few of them. I reached Pokhara at 4pm comfortably.

My laws were also in Pokhar as my senior brother in law had a baby before three days. His couple and mother in law were there with their newly born baby. Though my sister wanted me to be in hers before I went to the law's apartment thinking that I would spend the night with sister and her family.

It was very nice to meet the laws in Pokhara. My brother in law took me to sister's quarter at 8pm in the evening. I stayed their ate sel roti sharing happyness of Tihar with them.

Next morning, I went to visit Devid Falls, and the Cave of Gupteshow Mahadev with niece. It was very nice to visit the cave and watch beutiful undergraound scenes and capture them in my camera. I spent about two hours inside the cave. The most marvalous scene was the fall that was seen from inside the cave. The rock that resembled the Sivalinga was very beutiful. I took few information from the priest there.

Then went to the Devis Fall. The name of this underground fall was patale chhango means the fall going deeper into the ground but it was renamed when a foreign gir named Devis fell from it and vanished deep down the fall. We took beautiful photos there.

I returned at about 10 am to the residence of my sister. Took some pieces of sel roti and copied photos to the PC of my nephew Sudeep Khanal. Then the most awaited time of Vai Tika started. I received tika and saepatri (flower with hundred flower leaves) garland from my sister. We took delicious lunch together and I went to the laws residence.

I stayed few hours their and went to visit Bindabasini with brother in law. He took me to the Hill of Lama Gaun from where the entire beutiful city of Pokhara can be viewed at a glance and capture in the camera. We also visited PN Campus and Girls Campus where my beloved wife studed her Bachelors and intermediate level. In the evening at about 7 pm we reached the to the residence where mother in law was waiting with delicious dishes to serve.

Next morning I returned to the residence of my sister and returned to Kathmandu then.
