It is celebrated with great pomp and gaiety. The celebration is marked for a special day in which the entire country gets involved in Abir (special color) and get drenched in the colored water. Celebrations are of marked importance at Terai , the low lying plains in Nepal, where families and friends get together and celebrate the occasion with a lot of merry making.

After I clicked I realized that the boy was standing still for the pose despite being bitten by a big ant (rote kamila, we call in Nepali) around his ankle. He didn't killed it out of anger but just let it go by jerking his chapped foot which ofcourse was naked with no sandal or shoes. Then after he teamed up again with his father (or guardian) towards his village. SO CALLED LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY IF YOU REALLY ARE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY, LEARN TO STAND STILL LIKE THIS BOY DID, DESPITE THE TROUBLES AND LEAVE THE AGE OLD TRADITION OF "PEENDH NA BHAYEKO LOTA" KIND OF LEADERSHIP (Pot Without A Base Which Can Topple over in Any Direction Without Any Certainity).
