    Kaag Puja – The first day of Dipawali/ Tihar

    First day of Dipawali/Tihar festival begins with the worship of the bird, Crow (known as the messenger of Death or the Informant of Yama-God of Death). People offer food, sweets and worship the bird with a hope that it will only bring good news year around. The Crow is perceived as a bad omen, especially its craw, upon hearing one, people pray that it is good news only. Similarly, it is a common belief that if the crow craws early in the morning, there will be a visitor/guest coming that day. As peculiar as it sounds but these rituals strengthen the human relationship with animals and nature.
