Nhu Daya Vintuna is a Newar cultural and religious celebration that marks the New Year according to the Nepal Sambat calendar. It is celebrated mainly in Patan, Kathmandu, and Bhaktapur, and is deeply rooted in Newar tradition, heritage, and community rituals.
The festival is a symbol of renewal, purification, and prosperity. Families and communities gather to perform rituals, play Dhime Baja (traditional drums), and celebrate with dances like the Lakhey dance, which are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
The celebration involves visiting temples, offering prayers, and lighting diyos (oil lamps) to symbolize light overcoming darkness, reinforcing spiritual energy, and welcoming the new year with hope and joy.
It's more than just a festival; it's a living cultural heritage where music, dance, devotion, and community come together to preserve the Newar identity and traditions..
