President Bidya Devi Bhandari has extended best wishes to all Nepalis on the occasion of the Jitiya festival today.
Extending the message of best wishes, she wished peace, prosperity, and happiness.
The festival-like Jitiya fosters mutual respect, harmony, and tolerance in the Nepali society rich in diversity in terms of geography, caste, religion, and culture. It helps to contribute to the national unity, President Bhandari added.
"On the one hand, we need to protect physical and intangible cultural heritages, and bring reform in the women-biased social practices on the other," she stressed.
The Jitiya festival is celebrated by the women, especially of Tharu and Madhes communities, wishing for good health and longevity for their children and family. (RSS)
