Kukur Tihar, Laxmi Puja being observed today amid COVID-19 pandemic

KATHMANDU: Kukur Tihar and Laxmi Puja are being observed today, the second day of Tihar festival this year, by worshipping, garlanding and feeding dogs and cows.

In Kukur Tihar, dogs are worshipped as protectors of the house. A dog is the most loyal friend to human beings, and according to Hindu myth, dogs are regarded as the guards of Yama, the god of death.

This year, Kukur Tihar and Laxmi Puja are being celebrated on the same day (Kartik Krishna Chaturdashi on the lunar calendar), according to Nepal Panchanga Nirnayan Samiti.

Similarly, Nepali Hindus worship cows in the morning and Goddess Laxmi in the evening, wishing for prosperity on this day.

People celebrate Laxmi Puja in every household today by lighting butter lamps and candles inside and outside the households to welcome the Goddess by lighting up the path.

All the nooks and corners of the house including the courtyard and rooms are illuminated with colourful and decorative lights this evening with the belief that Goddess Laxmi does not visit places that are not properly illuminated, and to please Goddess Laxmi, people light lamps and spend the whole night in a vigil.

The night of Laxmi Puja is also known as ‘the Night of Bliss’.

People also play deusi-bhailo following the puja. However, this year the administration offices have banned Deusi-Bhailo revelries and other Tihar-related programmes. The authorities have requested people to keep the possible spread of the virus in mind while celebrating the festival. The offices have urged locals to stay safe while celebrating the festival.

In addition, Nepal Police headquarters has directed all police units to prohibit Deusi-Bhailo programmes in their respective areas during the Tihar festival citing the spike in COVID-19 cases throughout the country.

NCP Sectt meets today after PM’s nod

KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 12

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who co-chair’s the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), has called the party’s Secretariat meeting for tomorrow a day after the Supreme Court cleared decks for Bamdev Gautam to become a minister. Till yesterday, Oli had been arguing against immediate need for calling the meeting.

Gautam is one of the five members of the NCP Secretariat, besides Dahal, Shrestha, Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal, who had asked Oli in writing to call the Secretariat meeting last week and attend it.

But the PM ignored the call. Dahal then met Oli on Tuesday and asked him to agree to his decision to call the Secretariat meeting today.

Oli has fallen into minority in all key party bodies — Secretariat, Standing Committee and Central Committee. But if Gautam switches sides tomorrow, Oli may be in majority in at least the Secretariat.

Leaders of the Dahal faction, however, ruled out that Gautam would switch sides.

NCP Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha said party General Secretary and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel fixed the meeting for 4:00 pm tomorrow on the direction of Executive Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal after the PM agreed for the meeting.

The new development comes after weeks of political sabre rattling between Oli and Dahal factions of the NCP. The Dahal faction has accused the PM of defying the party’s Standing Committee decisions by unilaterally reshuffling the federal Cabinet, making appointments in constitutional bodies, nominating ambassadors and inciting party leaders to register a no-trust motion against Karnali Chief Minister Mahendra Bahadur Shahi.

Oli, on the other hand, had threatened to split the party if the rival faction took any step to censure him in any party body.

NCP Standing Committee member Yubaraj Gyawali, who is close to senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal, told THT that the PM’s nod to call the Secretariat meeting was a positive step, but differences still remained in the party over a host of issues which would be debated in the Secretariat tomorrow. “It depends on how Oli presents himself in the meeting tomorrow. If he agrees to abide by party decisions, things could be resolved easily or else members may take decisions on the basis of majority,” he said He added that Oli defied party rules even when he was associated with the erstwhile CPN- UML. “He would walk out of meetings when he did not like certain things. Ignoring party bodies’ meetings is his old habit,” Gyawali said.

The NCP Secretariat will discuss COVID-19 crisis, non-compliance with the party’s Standing Committee decisions, intra-party rift in Karnali Province and the PM’s recent meeting with chief of Research and Analysis Wing of India Samant Kumar Goel.
