The animals also showcased their skills on the occasion, from leaping through fire rings to performing drills. Kukur Tihar marks the second day of the Himalayan nation’s five-day Tihar (Diwali) festival.

Kukur Tihar is a 5-day long Tihar celebration in Nepal celebrated across different ethnicities in Nepal with the first day was Yam panchak on which Nepalis' feed ravens. 

In many houses, Laxmi Puja was observed on Monday evening by worshipping Laxmi, the goddess of wealth, affluence, and prosperity, with devotion. Traditionally the day falls on the third day of the Tihar festival, many people in Nepal are celebrating Laxmi Puja on Tuesday also while few people are celebrating on New Moon day. On this day, people clean their houses and surroundings, illuminate their homes, and light butter lamps to ‘invite’ the goddess to their homes.
