Dashain is one of the longest and the most auspicious festivals in the Nepalese annual calendar, celebrated by Nepalese of all caste and creed throughout the country. The fifteen days of celebration occurs during the bright lunar fortnight ending on the day of the full moon. On the last day of Dashain, Kojagrat Purnima (full moon), veteran gurus get together to celebrate Dashain at Gurukul in Kathmandu on Friday (Oct 26, 2007). On the occassion, they exchanged greetings and Tika-Jamara with each other.

दशैको फोटो हेर्दा धेरै खुशि लाग्यो । एस्तै सद्बभाब सधैरहिरहोस।
आफु नेपाल बाहिर भएपनि त्याहिँ भएको अनुभब लाग्यो। अर्को साल पनि एस्तो कार्यक्रम भए म पनि जाने निस्चित गरेको छु।
