Nepalis are celebrating the biggest Hindu religious festival for ten days with all the government offices, education centres and other businesses closed during this period, as they celebrate the victory over evil worshipping Goddess Durga Bhawani.

A three month unilateral ceasefire announced by the Maoist rebels has added enthusiasm among the celebrants.
