Others are going to the temples of Lord Shiva situated nearby their localities. Religious priests and preachers are telling stories of Lord Shiva at various places.
There’s a tradition in which the children stop the pedestrians and other people who are commuting to their work and ask for money. The adults delight them by donating either money or any kind of food.  This day also coincides with the Nepali Army Day.
