Celebrating Kukur Tihar in Delhi: I came to know of Kukur Tihar in 2022 in my first year of celebrating Tihar in Nepal. This is a wonderful festival to celebrate Man’s best friend. And this year we celebrated Kukur Tihar with our family member #Piku who seemed to be enjoying all the attention!

#Watch | Dogs across Nepal were honoured during a ceremony held in Kathmandu as part of the Hindu festival known as Kukur Tihar, which highlights the loyalty and special bond between humans and dogs. Personnel from the Armed Police Force placed flower petals and garlands around the necks of dogs and staged a joint performance during the ceremony.
The dog festival takes place on the second day of a five-day festival dedicated to animals associated with Yamaraj, the god of death and justice. Across the country, people celebrate by honouring both pet and stray dogs, with the festive period considering it a sin to act disrespectfully toward dogs and other honoured animals.
