This Nepali Mother’s Day feels extra special and close to my heart. Having my parents here with me is such a blessing, and being able to celebrate this beautiful day together after 3 years makes it even more meaningful. Moments like these remind me how precious family truly is.
Nepali Mother’s Day, also known as Aama ko Mukh Herne Din, is a day dedicated to honouring and showing love and gratitude to our mothers. It’s a tradition where we express appreciation through small gestures, blessings, and time spent together—something so simple yet deeply meaningful.
This year, we celebrated in traditional Newari style, which made it even more special. In Newari culture, celebrations are rich with rituals and symbolism. We prepared and shared Sagun—a ceremonial platter that usually includes items like boiled egg, meat, fish, ginger, garlic and aila (traditional drink). Each element in Sagun represents good luck, health, and prosperity. Along with that, we offered tika—a sacred mark placed on the forehead as a blessing for protection and well-being.
We also baked cakes at home, adding our own little modern twist to the tradition. Celebrating with my brother and cousins made the day even more joyful. There was laughter, love and that warm feeling of being surrounded by family again after so long.
It’s hard to put into words how special it feels to come together like this—to celebrate our culture, our traditions and most importantly, our mothers. A day filled with gratitude, love and togetherness that I will always cherish ❤️
