It is the ninth day of Dasain. Dasain is Nepal’s biggest annual festival. It is celebrated for fifteen days starting from the new moon of Asoj (September or October). Also known as Durga Puja or Dashera, this festival marks the victory of goddess Durga over the demon king Mahisasur.
Sacrifices continue throughout Nawami. On this day blood is sprinkled on tools, vehicles and even aircrafts to impart Durga’s power.
