What is Tihar? तिहार के हो?
Tihar is the festival of lights — five days honouring crows, dogs, cows, wealth and, on the final day, the bond between brothers and sisters. Homes glow with diyo and fairy lights, Laxmi Puja fills doorways with rangoli, and Bhai Tika closes the festival with the year’s warmest family moment. Deusi–bhailo singing goes door to door — in Germany, flat to flat.
