In Nepal, there is a show celebrating Kukur Tihar that honors dogs and their unique bond with people. The dog takes on a leading role in a universe created just for him, where myths of abuse or abandonment have no place, between mysticism and folklore. Despite mysticism and traditions, anyone who has decided to live with a dog can still use the Nepali celebrations as a jumping off point. The quadruped deserves a "thank you" from us with respect, care, and loyalty because in addition to this sacred role, which is dear to the Nepalese people, it is faithful to man throughout the world and a valuable collaborator in activities like protection and rescue every day.

For one day this all changes. Dogs are revered and honored nationwide on the second day of Tihar, also known as Diwali, the festival of lights. Although traditionally a Hindu festival, Nepal is a very diverse and polyethnic nation, and its religious celebrations frequently overlap. Everyone, including Buddhists and Christians, observes Tihar.

In Nepal, dogs are revered as Yamraj, the god of deathmessengers. ,'s Dogs play a crucial role as the guardians of the grave. According to legend, dogs guide deceased people's souls across the River of Death in the afterlife.
