Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Kukur Tihar, also known as "Day of the Dogs,” is a Hindu festival in Nepal dedicated to honoring dogs. It falls on the second day of Tihar, a five-day Hindu festival celebrated around October or November.

On this day, people worship dogs, decorating them with garlands and applying vermilion tika (a red mark) on their foreheads. Dogs are also offered food and treats
