Today is Kushe Aunsi, the day of seeing the face of the father <\/strong><\/p>\n Kathmandu. The followers of the Vedic Sanatan Dharma are celebrating Kushe Aunsi and the new moon of the father’s face by bringing holy Kush to their homes today. In this festival celebrated on the day of Bhadra Krishna Aunsi, there is a tradition of keeping Kush used in the deity and ancestral work throughout the year. <\/p>\n According to the scriptural method, there is a religious belief that keeping Kush worshiped by a Brahmin and uprooted and taken to the house of the patron will bring welfare to the family. Sanatan Dharma devotees consider Kush, Tulsi, Peepal and Shaligram as symbols of Lord Vishnu. According to religious beliefs, Brahmaji also created the holy Kush along with the rational being. <\/p>\n There is a tradition of using Kush as a sacred plant in Sanatan Sanskar. Kush is used in religious rituals, shraddha, tarpan and other rituals. There is also a tradition of wearing a ring made of Kush i. e. Pavitri. <\/p>\n Kushe Aunsi is also celebrated as the day of seeing the father’s face. On this day, children honor their father by gifting him sweets, fruits, food, and clothes. Children who are far away or abroad pay their respects by talking to their father over the phone and other means. <\/p>\n There is a tradition of performing Shraddha, Tarpan, Pind Daan and Sidadan in the name of the deceased father by visiting various religious and holy pilgrimage places. Religious rituals are performed in the memory of the ancestors at pilgrimage sites including Gokarneshwor Mahadev Temple in Kathmandu, Betrawati in Rasuwa, Devghat in Tanahun, Bishnupaduka and Barahakshetra in Sunsari. <\/p>\n A special fair is held today in the premises of the Gokarneshwar Mahadev Temple in the northeast part of Kathmandu. Devotees throng here to perform tarpan, pind daan and sidadaan in the name of the deceased father. Since Gokarneshwar is also known as Uttargaya, today’s new moon is also called Gokarna Aunsi. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is Kushe Aunsi, the day of seeing the face of the father Kathmandu.
