This year, the month of Shrawan felt truly unforgettable for me. 🌿 In Nepal, Shrawan is such a meaningful month. It’s the time when many people devote themselves to Lord Shiva, wear green bangles and outfits, and take part in fasting and prayers. It’s also when friends and family come together, enjoy each other’s company, and celebrate the joy of life.
To make it special, I invited my neighbours over for a little celebration at home. What started as a simple idea turned into one of the best evenings I’ve had in a long time. We had so much laughter, good food, music, and even a bit of dancing. The highlight for many of us was the mehendi session — sitting together, drawing henna designs, and showing them off afterwards added such a festive touch. The smell of fresh mehendi, the bright green bangles, and all the colours around us really brought out the Shrawan spirit.
It reminded me how beautiful it is to celebrate traditions not just for their religious value, but also for the way they bring people closer. Having my neighbours join in, share stories, and enjoy the evening made it feel like we weren’t just celebrating Shrawan, but celebrating friendship, community, and togetherness.
This Shrawan left me with a heart full of gratitude, and I’m already excited to carry on this little tradition in the years ahead. 💚✨
