October 21 Dashain (or Bada Dashain) is Nepal's longest and most significant Hindu festival, lasting 15 days. It celebrates the triumph of good over evil, commemorating Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura and Lord Ram's defeat of Ravana. For Nepalis, it is a time of deep spiritual renewal, massive family reunions, and colorful cultural traditions.
