"The victory of truth over untruth and of the divine force over demonic force is the supreme message of the Dashain festival," he said, reminding its cultural, religious and social values.


The faith in Goddess Durga fosters relations within family and community, Speaker Ghimire said, adding that in recent years even the people from different communities are celebrating the Dashain festival which has helped in developing it as a common festival.


"Receiving tika and blessing from the seniors, exchanging best wishes and visiting relatives are major features of this festival," Speaker Ghimire said.


He reminded the recent disaster that took a huge toll on human life and property; and urged everyone to maintain safe travels. The Speaker also suggested frugal behaviour and healthy food habits.
