Honoring Dogs as Sacred - Kukur Tihar

In Nepal at Tihar (equivalent of Hindu Diwali "festival of Light"), the second of three days is devoted to honoring dogs as the sacred beings and friends they are. Dogs are given sweet treats and decorated with kum-kum and flower garlands. (Day one honors crows, and day three, cows.) This amusing video explains!


All good blessings for Kukur Tihar ("Dog Diwali")!

Fortunately, many of us honor our dogs everyday of the year!

May all beings be happy!
