Gokarna Aaunsi (The Father's Day)

4:27 AM    1 comment


The last day of the dark fortnight in August of early September is the auspicious day for honoring fathers. Sons and daughters offersweets and other delicacies to their father and son to receive blessings. Those whose fathers have died perform abstemious purification rites necessary to bring peace to departed soul. On this day people flock to a sacred shrine of Shiva at Gokarna. They takebath in a river nearby and perform religious rites to honor the memory of their father and to bring peace and tranquility to the departed soul. Those with living fathers also do not fail to go there. This festival reflects the strength of family bonds in Nepal.
