What is Kukur Tihar?
The second day of the 5 days Tihar Festival (the Festival of Lights) in Nepal is called Kukur Tihar and Nepalese honour and celebrate dogs (the messengers of the God of Death in Hindu) so Kukur Tihar is the Day of Dogs!!!
The best part about the day of dogs is that all dogs including stray dogs get honoured. They don’t get fed only but also have beautiful flowers around their necks!
Tihar is the equivalent of Diwali (Deepawali) in India and is just another excuse to all of us to spoil our dogs with a good meal and yeah flowers around the neck!
Hope you all enjoy the lights and happiness your dog brings to your life all year around. And we wish you a very Happy Diwali and Tihar to all those who celebrate the Festival of Lights.
