Tihar is Yamapanchak, the five days from Kartik Krishna Trayodashi to Shukla Dwitiya. Crows, dogs and cows are honoured, Laxmi Puja falls on the new-moon night with lamps lit across the country, oxen are worshipped and the Newar community observes Mha Puja, and it ends with Bhai Tika, when sisters bless their brothers.

Public holidays as the Government of Nepal's notice lists them; the other days as the published Nepali calendar gives them.
