Tihar, also known as Deepawali and Yamapanchak or Swanti, is a five-day Hindu festival celebrated in Nepal and Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, which host a large number of ethnic Nepali people. Tihar is analogous to the Indian festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, but with some significant differences. (excerpt from Wikipedia)
