Radiant Readers Academy extends heartfelt greetings to all students, parents, and the community on the joyous occasions of Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath. These festivals are moments of celebration, reflection, and togetherness. They remind us of the importance of family, unity, gratitude, and devotion, bringing warmth and happiness to every home.
Dashain, the longest and most celebrated festival in Nepal, marks the victory of good over evil and honors Goddess Durga. During this festival, elders bless younger family members with tika and jamara, and families gather to share meals, exchange gifts, and strengthen bonds. Dashain teaches courage, respect, and the significance of togetherness.
Tihar, the festival of lights, follows Dashain and fills homes and streets with glowing lamps, candles, and colorful decorations. Tihar honors gods, goddesses, and even animals such as crows, dogs, and cows, reminding us to live with gratitude and respect for all beings. Sisters and brothers celebrate Bhai Tika, exchanging blessings, love, and heartfelt wishes, reinforcing the importance of family ties.
Chhath is a festival of devotion dedicated to the Sun God. Devotees observe rituals with dedication, offering prayers during sunrise and sunset. Chhath teaches discipline, faith, and gratitude for life’s blessings while emphasizing harmony with nature. The festival inspires spiritual reflection and strengthens the connection between people and the environment.
Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath are more than celebrations; they are lessons in love, compassion, unity, and moral values. They bring communities together, pass traditions to future generations, and fill hearts with joy and hope.
Radiant Readers Academy wishes everyone a blessed and joyful festive season. May the spirit of these festivals illuminate your homes with happiness, peace, and prosperity, and inspire kindness, gratitude, and harmony in all our lives.
