Humanitarian Action for Devotees in Dhangadhi, Sudurpaschim Province
8 June 2025 | Dhangadhi, Kailali, Sudurpaschim Province, Nepal
Ganga Dasara โ A Festival of Purity and Devotion in Nepal
Nepal is a nation renowned for its rich spiritual heritage, ethnic diversity, and vibrant religious traditions. Among its most significant Hindu festivals is Ganga Dasara, celebrated with great devotion across the countryโespecially in regions like Dhangadhi in Sudurpaschim Province.
Ganga Dasara marks the descent of the sacred River Ganga (Ganges) from heaven to earth. Devotees believe that bathing in holy rivers during this festival cleanses sins and brings spiritual purification. The event attracts thousands of worshippers who gather for communal prayers, ritual bathing, and offerings, seeking blessings and well-being for themselves and their families.
IHRCโs Commitment to Community Service in Nepal
On this auspicious occasion, the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting local communities and promoting humanitarian values in Nepal. The IHRC team in Dhangadhi organised a feeding program for all devotees participating in the festivalโproviding juice, water, and additional assistance to ensure comfort for worshippers.
โDuring Ganga Dasara, our team provided refreshments and support to all visitors, reflecting IHRCโs dedication to service, dignity, and compassion for every individual.โ
This initiative is part of IHRCโs ongoing mission to strengthen community ties, uphold human rights, and foster social harmony in Nepal and beyond.
Highlights of the IHRC Initiative
- Free distribution of juice and water to festival participants
- On-site assistance and hospitality for devotees
- Promotion of respect, inclusion, and solidarity during major cultural events
The IHRC Nepal team expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve during Ganga Dasara and reaffirmed their ongoing commitment to positive social impact and inclusive humanitarian action.
