The Dashain festival starts from Thursday as Ghatasthapana is being observed by sowing seeds of Jamara (sacred plants) at home and temples. Dashain, the first day of the Hindu’s greatest festival, is dedicated to the worship of Durga, the goddess of power. On the day, people clean up their houses early in the morning and prepare for Ghatasthapana, which literally means the placing of the pot. Ghata means pot and Sthapana refers to placing. Hindu god Ganesh is also worshiped on the day and Kalasha (vessel full of holy water) and Diyo (oil-fed lamp) are placed before reading holy scriptures. Jamara includes seeds of barley, rice, corn and wheat which are planted on a leaf plate traditionally known as Tapari and Bohta. Source : ekantipur.com
