What is Nepali New Year?

Nepalese New Year, also known as "Navavarsha," is celebrated with great enthusiasm and cultural fervor across Nepal. It typically falls in mid-April and marks the beginning of the solar Hindu calendar. This celebration corresponds to the first day of Baisakh, the first month of the calendar. Navavarsha is not just a time for festive activities, but also a symbol of renewal, inner reflection, and the commencement of new endeavors. 

Navavarsha is also a time for spiritual reflection. Many Nepalese visit temples to pray for prosperity and attend various traditional ceremonies. It's a day to cleanse the past year's troubles and embrace the future's potential with optimism and hope.

For the Nepali diaspora, celebrating Navavarsha abroad is a poignant reminder of home and heritage. It serves as a vibrant expression of cultural identity and continuity. By sharing this celebration, Nepali students provide a window into their rich cultural tapestry, fostering a broader appreciation and respect for their traditions at UoSiL.
