In my life and aspects of environment, as I belong to hindu communities of Nepal which is also known as a country of unity in diversity. We live in a society sharing our joys and sorrows with the people from other religions and castes. One of the events of my life is to celebrate the biggest festival. In my cultural we celebrate a big festival Dashain or Dussera, also known as Bada Dashain or Vijaya Dashami. Wich identify my cultural belief and values. It is the biggest festival of the Hindus all over the world. It symbolizes the victory over evil. It usually falls in the month of Aswin or Kartik (late September/ early October). Dashain is celebrated for 15 days. Goddess Durga the Goddess of power, is worshipped for nine days, and on the tenth day Bijay Dashami or the victory over evil is observed with joy by putting on Tika and Jamara.
