Tihar, also called Deepawali, is one of Nepal’s most loved festivals — five days of lights, flowers and togetherness. Homes and schools glow with oil lamps (diyo), candles and rangoli, and marigold garlands decorate every doorway.

The festival honours different companions of life on each day — the crow, the dog, the cow and the ox — and celebrates Laxmi Puja, the worship of the goddess of wealth and prosperity, on Sunday, 8 November 2026 (Kartik 22, 2083). It concludes with Bhai Tika on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 (Kartik 25), when sisters pray for their brothers’ long life and happiness.

Shree Jeetpur Secondary School wishes all its students, parents and staff a bright, safe and joyful Tihar. शुभ दीपावली!
