Happy Dashain

Dashain is a festival that is celebrated in Nepal. Dashain symbolizes the victory of good over evil. For followers of Shaktism, it represents the victory of the goddess Durga. In Hindu mythology, the demon Mahishasura had created terror in the devaloka (the world where gods lives) but Durga killed the rakshas (demon).

Dashain is celebrated with great rejoice, and the goddess Durga is worshiped throughout the kingdom as the divine mother goddess. In preparation for Dashain, every home is cleansed and beautifully decorated, painted as an invitation to the mother goddess, so that she may visit and bless the house with good fortune.
