Vijayadashami(विजयादशमी) or Dashain is the biggest and longest festival on the Nepali calendar and it is celebrated by virtually every person in Nepal, regardless of their social caste. The entire festival lasts approximately fifteen days and is a riot of color, festivity and religious rites. All homes in Nepal are cleaned, painted and decorated to encourage the mother goddess to visit and bless the household. Relatives from distant towns are reunited and the markets come alive with those looking for items they may use during the festival, such as clothes, food and gifts. People visit their relatives and exchange greetings throughout the 15 days of the festival. For many people and specially children, buying of new clothes bears special importance.  http://www.namasteservice.com/ (Send Gifts to Nepal)
