Happy Deepawali - a festival of colours and lights
Along with worshipping the creatures associated with Yama, Tihar celebrates the goddess of wealth for good fortune. Most of all, the festival celebrates the love and bond between siblings following the myth of how a sister saved her brother's life even when the god of death, Yamaraj himself, came to take his soul.

On this biggest festival of Nepalese, we wish all our fellow travellers, GE family, and supporters joy and prosperity.
