Festivals in Nepal, India, Tibet, and
Bhutan begin with religion, ending as social event.
There are more than 50 major festivals in a year celebrated
throughout region. Although most of these festivals
are religious some have historical significance, while
others are seasonal celebrations.
The dates of most festivals are fixed by famous astrologers,
Lamas, after consulting the lunar calendar. The biggest
and most popular festivals are mentioned at Festival
Calendar.
It is not hard to catch colorful processions
in different streets of the Valley almost every other
day of the week. Cultural acts of dances and songs
are integral parts of some celebrations while some
celebrations are just quiet family gatherings.
