Sakela Ubhauli || Bijayapurgadhi || Ratnachowk || Dharan || MalVika Subba

Sewaro and welcome to this new episode . We are celebrating Sakela Ubhauli in Dharan . Wishing for a bountiful harvest, no diseases, and no natural calamities, the tradition of celebrating Ubhauli Sakela for a month while moving to higher grounds to escape the summer heat is practiced. Imitating birds and animals, people celebrate Ubhauli Sakela to the rhythm of drums, singing songs that wish for the protection of the entire creation by Sumnima and Paruhang. The Sakela festival is celebrated twice a year, during Baisakh Purnima (Full Moon of April/May) when crops are sown, and during Mangsir Purnima (Full Moon of November/December) when crops are harvested. In historical Kirat regions, this festival is celebrated with prayers and rituals for a whole month during Ubhauli.

During this Ubhauli celebration, the committee members of Dharan-18 Ratnachowk honored me by placing a white turban on my head and presenting me with a symbolic token. The white turban on the head symbolizes keeping the head held high, and I felt this honor was more valuable and a greater responsibility than the crown I received as Miss Nepal.
