Sithi Nakha also known as Kumar Sasthi, is a festival celebrated by Newa people that falls on the Sixth day of Tachhala (8th Month of Nepal Sambat). Sithi is the corrupted form of Sasthi or Sixth day of Tachhala while Nakha means festival. So, Sithi Nakha is the festival celebrated on the occasion of the birth of Lord Kumar 'Skanda'.
