Kushe Aunsi
In the Vedic Sanatan Hindu religion and culture, KUSH(Eragrostis cynosuroides) is used as a very important and mandatory plant during chanting bath, worship-reciting and in every Deva Karma and PITRI karma. On this day, every Nepalese keeps KUSH in their house. It is believed that keeping KUSH in front of the main door of the house will destroy the bad and evil forces. Therefore, this day is also known as Kushe Aunsi festival. Science has also proven that KUSH is used as a medicine in Ayurveda. It has also been proven that Kush reflects all the radiation. In Vedic Sanatan Dharma rites, KUSH’s ring and JANAI are very important.

Father’s day
Kushe Aunsi is also known as the day of seeing a father’s face. Which we simply call Father’s Day in Nepal. Nepalese people celebrate this day as a day of respect, remembrance and special dedication to the father. Today, sons and daughters look at their father’s face and give gifts like sweets, fruits, clothes etc. Those who do not have fathers today go to various religious shrines, holy places or pilgrimage and bathe, perform SHRADDHA in the name of their father, offer TARPAN and remember their father through spiritual contemplation and wish for the peace of his soul.
