MY TIHAR EXPERIENCE
Tihar is the second greatest festival after Dashain. It is considered to be of great
importance as it shows reverence to not just the humans and the gods, but also to the animals
like crows, cows, and dogs that maintain an intimate relationship with humans. Tihar is
the festival of lights celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, of knowledge over
ignorance, and the dissolution of barriers that separate humans from authentic
experience of the world.It is the festival of lights that brings the worship of Laxmi. It is
celebrate for five days.It starts with Kag Tihar followed by Kukur Tihar, Laxmi Puja, Goverdhan Puja
and Bhai Tika.The first day of Tihar is to worship crows, "the messenger of death". The second
day of Tihar is to honor dogs, "the guardian for the god of death". The third day is to welcome
the Goddess of Laxmi. The forth day is to thank cows. The fifth day is to place Tihar quotes (Tihar
Tika) to brothers and present Tihar gifts for sisters. Every house, buildings and temples are
graced by the rows of light.
My Tihar experience was very joyfulness.I celebrate and enjoyed Tihar festival from the first day.
Kaag Tihar (crow pooja)/worship of crows
In the first day,Kaag tihar I worshp crows by offering delicious sweets and dishes on the terrace of the house.
Kukur Tihar (dog pooja)/Worship of dogs
In the second day, I worshiped dogs by putting tika on their forehead and flowers garland around their neck.I also offered food and sel roti to them.
Gai tihar (cow pooja) and Laxmi pooja
In the third day Gai tihar I worship cows by putting flowers garland around their neck and tika on their forehead.I also offered them bay and fruits.
I also cleaned the whole house with other people and decorate the doors and windows of house with marigold garland. In the evening made rangoli and trail the floor with the mixture of red mud and cow dung.After it dried I made the symbolic footprint of goddess Laxmi to the worshiping room. My mother offered many types of fruits, sweets and Sel roti.
