Tamu Lhosar, the grand festival of the Gurung community, is being celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country. Especially in Tundikhel, Kathmandu, thousands of Gurung people have gathered in traditional attire and organized cultural programs to welcome the new year.
तमु ल्होसार गुरुङ समुदायको नयाँ वर्ष हो । ‘ल्हो’ को अर्थ वर्ष र ‘सार’ को अर्थ फेरिनु भएकाले वर्ष फेरिने दिनलाई तमु ल्होसार भनिन्छ । यस पर्वलाई पुरानो वर्षलाई बिदाइ र नयाँ वर्षलाई स्वागत गर्ने प्रतीकका रूपमा मनाइन्छ । यस वर्ष गुरुङ समुदायले सर्प वर्गलाई बिदाइ गरी घोडा वर्गको स्वागत गरेका छन् । यो पर्व सूर्यको किरणसँग पनि जोडिएको छ । गुरुङ बाहुल्य जिल्लाहरू लमजुङ, गोरखा, तनहुँ, स्याङ्जा, मनाङ, कास्की, पर्वतलगायतमा सूर्यको ताप पहिले आउने भएकाले पुस १५ मा यो पर्व मनाउने परम्परा रहेको विश्वास गरिन्छ ।
