People also perform “Shradh” (Pinda Daan ) in commemoration of their deceased fathers at the Gokarneshwor Temple or other holy places.

The date does not coincide with International Fathers’ Day and, like many other Nepalese traditional festivals, is based on the Lunar Calendar.

Father’s Day (Buba Ko Mukhherne Din,) is, without a doubt, a day to express gratitude to him. Fathers are revered in Nepalese history and culture, and they are seen as the family’s main source of quality and support. In Nepal, Father’s Day is observed in the dark fortnight of August or early September. Father’s Day (Buba Ko Mukhherne Din,), like the majority of the celebrations, helps to strengthen family bonds and qualities.

This is a wonderful day because we recognize and honor our father for his care and affection for us (his children and family) throughout his life. As a result, this day is known as “Buba Ko Mukhherne Din.” Mukh Herne places a high value on seeing someone’s face.
