Dasain festival is observed twice a year in Nepal. Chaitra Dasain is observed in the month of chaitra (March) whereas the other one, Badasain or the bigger Dasain falls in the month of September or during Autumn (October). Chaitra Dasain, seemingly, is given less importance comparatively and is observed on the eighth of the lunar month of Chaitra with various rites and rituals. Goddess Bhagavati is especially worshipped during this festival and animal sacrifices are offered to her. Coincidently, Seto Matsyendranath Jatra also begins on this day.
