Chaite Dashain : (March-April)

Dashain is a great festival of Nepalese people.  In Nepal it is observed twice a year-once in the month of Chaitra and once in Ashwin (Sept-Oct.). The former is observed on the eighth of the bright half of the month of Chaitra.  On this occasion goddess Bhagawati is worshipped and animal sacrifices are made to her.  But this festival is not observed with so much pomp and grandeur as the one which is observed in Autumn.
