Yomari Punhi, also known as Dhanya Purnima, is being celebrated by members of the indigenous Newar community across the country on Friday. The day which signifies the advent of winter and is observed on the full moon day of December every year also marks the post harvest period. A sweet delicacy named Yomari, made up of rice flour and brown cane sugar and sesame seeds fillings is the major food item savoured on this day.
