KATHMANDU, Sept. 29: On the occasion of Bada Dashain festival, the

Fulpati is being taken into the homes as per traditions throughout

the country today.

 

Fulpati, an assortment of flowers, leaves and fruits of different

plants considered auspicious, is anointed at the Dashaighar on the

seventh day of the Bada Dashain festival.

 

The Fulpati, which is consecrated at the Dashaighar at the

gorakhkali durbar, a historic and religious place in Gorkha, is

brought to Kathmandu as per the vedic rites to be anointed at the

Dashaighar at the Hanumandhoka Durbar.

 

The Fulpati is carried from Gorkha to Jeevanpur, Dhading by six

priestly attendants of the Magar community, including the priest of

the Dashainghar at the Gorakha durbar, and it is then taken from

Jeevanpur to Jamal in Kathmandu by the priests coming from the

Hanumandhoka Dashaighar.

 

The Gurujyuko Platoon, the Nepal army, Nepal police, and high

ranking officers of royal palace and civil service, the asha gurja

team, band music, and panchebaja bands and decorated kalsyoulis, and

a procession along with cultural pageantry leave Jamal from Hanuman

Dhoka.

 

Though Dashain festival begins from Ghatasthapana the festival takes

speed from the day of Fulpati.

 

All government as well as private offices close down from today

encouraging people to go back to their respective ancestral homes

and take blessings from Durga Bhawani as well as their elders.
