Bara Dasai: A Festival of Unity and Devotion in Sikkim
Bara Dasai, also known as Dashain, is one of the most significant tribal and regional festivals celebrated in Sikkim and across India. Rooted in Hindu tradition since prehistoric times, it is observed in two forms: Bara Dashai in October and Chaitay Dashai in March. Both versions carry immense cultural, social, and spiritual importance, making them central to the identity of communities in the Himalayan region.
