'Tauthali Dahi Jatra' is celebrated on Friday at Tauthali market in Tripurasundari Rural Municipality-5, which is considered to be the old and historical city of the district. From the old to the young people, who came from all over the district, they splashed each other while taking curds mixed with abeer from thekei and buckets.

According to the local leader Mohan Shrestha, shouting 'Jai Jai Om Mahadevi' (brought along with Tantric and Mantric rituals), worshiping 6 traditional lingos, serving Sagun, Dahi Holi starts in the middle of the market . After the earthquake, the pilgrimage was even bigger when it reached the Temple of Tripurasundari Mai, which was rebuilt in the old structure at a cost of 36.5 million rupees. "There is no place in the country to have such a unique curd-breaking tradition and many ancient worships, rituals and pilgrimages. It is only in Tauthali that has such an ancient history," he said.

After the curd-breaking procession which started in the afternoon was over late, a dance was performed by showing swords, khundas, and khukuri without playing lingo to wake up Mahadevi . When the procession reached the temple of Lalita Tripurasundari Mahadevi, curd was everywhere. Dahi Jatra has been taking place here since the Kirant period to celebrate the slaying of Mahishasura by Mahakali Bhagwati (Lalita Tripurasundari), said Yadav Shrestha, head of Tauthali. Guthiyar, the locals have been offering curd in this way in the hope that cows, buffaloes will not be milked and animal husbandry and business will prosper.

"Especially curd is distributed as prasad, when it is not possible to give it to everyone, it is scattered around," he said. The rural municipality has allocated a budget of one lakh for the preservation of Dahi Jatra. Tripurasundari Devi, who is considered to be the youngest daughter of Hanuman Dhoka Digu Taleju's seven daughters, begins with the interesting pilgrimage, worship and sacrifice of Badadasai.

On the day of Phulapati of Vijayadashami, according to the tradition of the temple, the Pahari community of Dhuskun in Tripura offers three fishes. On the day of Mahaashtami, only a black goat is sacrificed. On the night of Dashami, there is a rare dance festival like Bhairav, Kumari, Chandi, Syal Kahan, which is seen only once a year.
