KATHMANDU, June 14: Kushe rural municipality-9 of Jajarkot has made it mandatory to get a prior recommendation for a marriage.

Kushe Aunshi, the Nepali Father’s Day, is celebrated amid much fanfare throughout the country. The day, however, seems to be lacking popularity, more so in comparison to Mother’s Day. Unlike during Mother’s Day, where we can see urbanites gift-hunting at Archies and other fancy gift shops, Father’s day seemingly does not grab so much materialistic attention.
