Kukur Puja, a heartfelt and cherished tradition, is a special event dedicated to honoring and expressing gratitude towards dogs for their loyalty and service. Celebrated primarily in Nepal and some parts of India, this sacred ritual takes place during the festival of Tihar, also known as the Festival of Lights.

During Kukur Puja, dogs—beloved companions and protectors—are showered with love and respect. Participants perform a special puja (prayer ritual) where dogs are adorned with colorful garlands, tika (a mark of respect) is applied to their foreheads, and they are offered treats and food. The event symbolizes the deep bond between humans and dogs, acknowledging their role as faithful guardians and friends.

This event is an expression of reverence and gratitude, as the community comes together to celebrate and honor these loyal animals for their companionship, protection, and unwavering devotion. It is a joyful and heartwarming occasion, highlighting the love and respect for all living beings.

Join us for this unique and meaningful celebration, where we pay tribute to our furry friends and embrace the spirit of kindness, compassion, and connection.
