KATHMANDU: Laxmi Puja was celebrated across the country on Saturday, to mark the third day of Yamapanchak of the Tihar festival. Tihar is the second biggest festival of the Nepali Hindus.
Hindu people clean their houses, rooms, windows, and premises early in the morning with cow dung and red clay and light lamps to welcome Goddess Laxmi in the evening.
People celebrate with much enthusiasm by lighting their houses, singing, dancing, and merry-making.
The Tihar festival this year is being observed with caution in the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
