Hi friends! I want to tell you about a very special and fun festival called Bibaha Panchami. This festival happens in a city called Janakpur in Nepal. People celebrate this festival because a long time ago, Lord Ram and Goddess Sita got married there. Everyone loves this story, and they like to remember it with happiness.
Before the festival, the whole city becomes very pretty. People put up colorful lights, flowers, and beautiful paintings called Mithila art. The streets look like a rainbow with all the colors. Many people come from different places, even from India, to join the celebration. Everyone is excited and happy.
The most important part of the festival is the wedding of Ram and Sita. It is a pretend wedding called a symbolic wedding. People dress up as Ram, Sita, and other characters from the Ramayana story. They do all the wedding ceremonies just like in the story. I went to see it at the big Janaki Temple. The temple was shining with lights and flowers. People were singing songs called bhajans and dancing. It was so beautiful and joyful!
During the festival, there are many fun things to do. People sing, dance, and play music. There are also yummy foods to eat, like sweets and local snacks. I tried some, and they were very tasty! Everyone smiles and talks to each other. Even strangers become friends during this time.
Bibaha Panchami is not just about the wedding. It is also about love, happiness, and family. It teaches people to be kind and to celebrate together. The festival lasts for several days, and every day is full of joy. Walking in the city, I could see people of all ages having fun. Children were laughing, women were singing, and everyone was happy.
I felt very lucky to be in Janakpur during this festival. I learned about the story of Ram and Sita, saw beautiful decorations, listened to music, and ate delicious food. Most of all, I felt the love and happiness all around me. Bibaha Panchami is a magical and special time that I will always remember. If you ever get a chance, you should visit Janakpur during Bibaha Panchami. You will have so much fun, and you will see one of the most colorful and happy festivals in Nepal.
