Farmers across the country are celebrating the National Paddy Day (Dhan Diwas) by organising various programmes.
The day is observed on the 15th of the Nepali month of Asar every year.
People plant rice, dance and splash mud and muddy water on each other in the rice fields to mark the day.
People also enjoy yogurt and beaten rice as a special dish to mark the day, also called “Asar Pandhra”.
Post photographers Hemanta Shrestha, Elite Joshi and Anish Regmi bring photos from Tokha, Sankhu and Khumaltar.
