Dashain celebrations

Yesterday and today are the main days of the longest, most important festival in Nepal.
Yesterday was the big animal killing day, which I'm definately against. Apparently our landlord killed a goat downstairs, but thankfully we stayed in all day so we didn't know anything about it.
Today Nicholas and I went to Hyatt for the lunch buffet. Yummy!

In the evening we got the traditional tikka and the very important grass behind the ear, at our landlord's huge party.
All women were dressed in their nicest red saris and the men were playing cards.
