Tihar (festival)
Tihar ((ネパール語:तिहार)) or Swanti (), or Deepawali (Devanagari: दीपावली) is a five-day-long Hindu festival celebrated in Nepal which comes soon after Dashain. It is similar to Deepawali celebrated in India but with a regional variation. In Nepal, all Hindu ethnic groups celebrate this festival with their own cultural variations. Among the Newars, it is popularly known as Deepawali or Swanti. The festival is celebrated from Trayodashi of Kartik Krishna to Kartik Shukla Dwitiya every year. Tihar in general signifies the festival of lights, where ''diyas'' are lit inside and outside the houses to make it illuminate at night. The five-day festival 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 who maintain an intense relationship with humans. People make patterns on the floor of living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals outside of their house, called ''Rangoli'' which is meant to be a sacred welcoming area for the Gods and Goddesses of Hinduism.
==Kaag (Crow) Tihar or Kwah Pujā ==
The first day of the festival is called ''Kaag Tihar'' or ''Kwah Puja'' (worship of the corvids). Crows and ravens are worshiped by offerings of sweets and dishes placed on the roofs of houses. The cawing of crows and ravens symbolizes sadness and grief in Hinduism, so devotees offer crows and ravens food to avert grief and death in their homes. Tihar among Gorkhas represents the divine attachment between humans and other animals.
