Dashain and Tihar Festival

The Nepalese Student Association (NSA) is planning events to celebrate Dashain and Tihar, two major festivals symbolizing the victory of good over evil and the festival of lights.

“Dashain and Tihar represent much more than celebrations,” sophomore representative Deepika Baruwal said. “They are about bringing the community together and keeping our cultural traditions alive for the students here at ULM.”

On Oct. 14, the NSA organized a Tika Night, during which attendees received a mixture of Tika and Jamara. The event signifies the blessings of elders, family unity, the passing of prosperity, and health and success. More events will be announced after fall break.
