Dashain, Nepal's largest festival, brings joy to migrant workers returning to their families after extended periods away. Some laborers have been separated from loved ones for over ten years, eagerly anticipating the reunion. Others will celebrate the festivities in workers' housing in locations outside their hometowns in Nepal. This year's Dashain holds particular significance as it represents a return to tradition and family connection for those who have spent years working overseas. These returns are crucial in supporting the economic activity of communities in Nepal. The festival signifies not only religious observance but also the strengthening of familial bonds disrupted by migration. It offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these workers in pursuit of livelihoods.
