What to Wear for Dashain & Tihar: Nepali Clothes & Traditions USA
Dashain ko Subhakamana!
Dashain and Tihar are not just about food, tika, or jamara—they’re about the way we come together as families. And for every Nepali, one of the most cherished parts of these festivals has always been new clothes. Growing up in Nepal, many of us remember the excitement of wearing a fresh daura suruwal, a bright red sari, or dressing up babies in colorful pasni outfits. Even now, living abroad in the USA, that tradition continues—because tika photos, family gatherings, and celebrations feel complete only when we wear our cultural outfits.
