    Dashain Holiday

    Dashain Holiday

    Special Audio

    The tradition of Tika after Dashami.

    Mainly the Tika of Dashami day is considered special. Keeping in mind the context where it is not possible to wear tika on the day of Dashami itself because of the traveling distance, the tradition of tika and jamra till the Poorima has been established.


    From the Dashami day to the full moon, the Tika pursuit continues and till Dwadashi, Dashain holiday is given.

    Pradosh Vrata

    Triodashi is called Pradosh. Like Ekadashi, Pradosh is important every month, Vishnu is remembered in Ekadashi and Shiva is remembered in Pradosh. Pradosh begins 45 minutes before sunset and ends 45 minutes after sunset.

    As today's Pradosh Vrat fell on Saturday ie, Sanibar, this is why it's called Shani Pradosh Vrat.


    Shani Pradosh Vrat Mantra

    ॐ त्र्यंबकम् यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

    उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥

    Which part do you find most inspiring while listening/reading the story of Pradosh Vrata?

    "This mantra is considered especially beneficial to chant during Pradosh Vrat."


    Pradosha Katha

    It is mentioned in the scriptures that Lord Shiva cured the disease of the moon on the day of Triodashi, when the effect of the moon was diminishing.Due to this, Pradosh Vrat is observed in Triodashi of every month in remembrance of Lord Shiva. It is more fruitful to worship Shiva in the time of pradosh.

    World Animal Day

    World Animal Day

    Special Audio

    On March 24, 1925, World Animal Day was originally organized by a German named Heinrich Zimmermann (1887–1942), who was not only a writer, but also published a bi-monthly magazine. Named Mensch und Hund / Man And Dog, he used the magazine as a medium to promote his views on animal welfare and to establish the World Animal Day Committee.

    On 24 March 1925, his committee organized World Animal Day. They organized it at the Sports Palace in Berlin, Germany to raise awareness about animal welfare issues of the time, and about 5,000 people took part in the first event. And the event was marked with the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi which was the 4th of October. Francis of Assisi had seen the plight of the animals around him with his own eyes and wanted to cure their pain.


    World Animal Day 2025 them "Save Animals, Save the Planet" emphasizes that protecting animal species is crucial for the health of our planet. It highlights the interconnectedness of animal welfare and environmental sustainability, urging people to take action to conserve wildlife and natural habitats.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
