KATHMANDU: Tihar is being celebrated with pomp and grandeur. The third day of Yamapanchak or Tihar festival is being celebrated by worshipping Laxmi, the goddess of wealth, affluence and prosperity, this evening.

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.
