Dashain, also known as Vijayadashami, is Nepal’s most significant and widely celebrated festival. The festival typically falls in September or October, lasting for 15 days. The exact dates vary each year, depending on the lunar calendar, but usually, the festival begins on the first day of the bright fortnight of the month of Ashwin, which corresponds to the Gregorian calendar dates of September or October. The festivities reach their peak on the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami, and gradually subside over the next few days.
