FATHER’S DAY (September Festival)

Father’s day, also termed as ‘Gokarna Aunsi’, is a special day for Nepalese people. Held on the 3rd September, Nepalese offer their fathers gifts including sweets, food, fruits, and clothes as an expression of love and respect. Fatherless Nepalese visit Gokarna and there they take a bath in the holy river and offer alms of rice, pulses, fruits, and coins to priest in the name of their fathers. This is believed to help their fathers live in peace in heaven.
