A female member of the family performs a special ceremony or puja. She then puts a red mud footprint on the floor entering the home and makes a trail to the room where the family worships the goddess. In this room, there are pictures and an icon of the goddess.

The things people worship on the fourth day depend on their cultural background. Most people worship the ox. Theyputtikaon the oxen and a garland around their necks. They also give delicious food.

Other people make a small hill out of cow manure, put some grass on it, and perform a special ceremony, or puja, on it. Yet other people worship themselves. The fifth day is the day of brothers and sisters. Sisters wish their brothers long life and prosperity.

If you do not have a brother or sister, you can make one of your relatives or friends a brother or a sister.

On this day, sisters perform puja and apply a special tika on their brothers for their long life and prosperity. Sisters put garlands around the neck of their brothers and offer them special gifts of food.

In return, brothers input tika and they put garlands around their necks and give them gifts of clothes and money. This festival finally ends after five days of cooking, decorating, eating, singing, dancing, shopping, relaxing, gift-giving, and worshipping. There is no doubt that Tihar is the most popular festival in Nepal.

During the Tihar festival, children and teenagers go to various places and sing the bhailo song and dance. They give blessings for the prosperity of the house and in return, in the end, they get sweets, money, and food.

Boys sing deusi and girls sing Bhailo. DeusiBhailo is played from the night of Laxmi puja. It is said that money should be given after Laxmi puja. The origin of Deusibhailo is not known.

The song is related to King Bali. According to the Hindu myths, king Bali gave his head to the fifth incarnation of Vishnu, Vamana. Vamana approaches Bali and asked for the three paces of land when Bali performed the Ashwamedha yajna.

At that time, Bali was very popular in giving alms to anybody who came to his palace and Bali agreed to fulfill the demand of Vamana Vamana covered the earth and universe with his two steps and he asked the king where he would place his third step and the king offered his head.

Vishnu blessed Bali seeing his devotion and promoted him to Suthala which is the supreme position of Heaven. It is believed that, in the month of Kartik, King Bali offered his head and it is believed that, if a person donates something then in return, he will get a blessing from Bali Raja.

Deusi- bhailo provides cultural entertainment in the local area by the groups. The lead person in the group generally wishes some blessings for the happiness and prosperity of owners of the properties where they begin their shows.

In villages, deusi groups use models, a musical instruments while singing songs. Various organized groups take this festival as an opportunity to raise funds for social welfare. With the team of singers and dancers, they play deusi-bhailo and in one spot, they remain for half an hour.

In the Terai region, deusi is played only up to the fifth day, Bhai tika but in the hilly region, it is played for 8/9 days. If someone died in the house then, in such a house, design is not played.

In the design of- the bailout program, efforts are done by the group to make the people of the house happy and the people of the house according to their status give money and food. If the owner of the house didn’t give anything in return then also the blessings are given with a smiley face.

Nowadays, we can see very fewer teams playing deusibhailo in our locality. It is our culture to play deusi-bhailo in the festival of Tihar. We should preserve our culture, not forgetting it to practice.
