#KukurTihar #DogFestival #NepalCulture #DogsAreFamily #TiharFestival #NepalTradition #DogLovers #FestivalOfDogs #CelebrateDogs #NepalVibes In Nepal, there’s a heartwarming festival called Kukur Tihar, a special day when dogs are worshipped like gods. Every year, Nepalese people celebrate this dog festival to honor the loyalty, love, and companionship that dogs bring into our lives. From stray dogs to beloved pets, every dog receives a tika, flower garland, and delicious food as part of the Tihar festival celebrations. This beautiful Nepali tradition reminds us to appreciate the unconditional love of dogs — not just in Nepal, but around the world. Let’s join hands and celebrate Kukur Tihar 2025, spreading kindness, love, and respect for every dog on Earth.
