The festival is marked by five days of celebration, which literally illuminates the hearts of the people with constant celebration and a sense of goodness dazzling people with joy.

During Tihar, people decorate their houses with lights, flowers and oil lamps, prepare delicacies such as ‘sel roti’ (traditional Nepali bread made from rice flour), and sweets.
