KATHMANDU: Kaag Tihar, the first day of the five-day Tihar festival, is being celebrated across Nepal today with traditional rituals and religious fervour.
Dedicated to crows, Kaag Tihar holds special significance in Hindu tradition, where crows are regarded as messengers of Yamaraj, the god of death and justice.
On this occasion, devotees offer food, particularly rice pudding and other delicacies, to crows, believing that pleasing them helps convey auspicious messages to Yamaraj and protects against untimely death, misfortune and negative events.
