Today is the last day of the Dashain Festival, the biggest Festival in the Nepali calendar. It is a time when traditionally families travel home to celebrate together. Feasting and visiting friends and relatives is the order of the day! They receive and exchange the sign of the Tikka when blessings are bestowed. Kites are flown to hopefully bring an end to the heavy rain and in the villages bamboo swings are erected on which the children to play.
It was a delightful privilege for Sue to be able to spend part of Dashain with the children of the Sarangkot Nestling Home.
Tuesday 8th October, was the most important day of the festival, a day when the Tikka ceremony was performed by Nirmal, and children were given gifts. They were up early in the morning chattering excitedly, dancing and singing
