With a bang Akhil Shillong Nepali Mahila Samity organizes Baisakh Celebration with "Gorkha Haat"- a first time experience of celebrating the first day of Baisakh (Vaisakha) -Nepalese New Year, marking the Hindu Solar New Year, displaying different Nepalese cultural cuisines, traditional crafts and cultural programs, on 13th April 2025. With a view to revive our lost forgotten cultures, Gorkha Haat hopes to provide platform for our people to come together to strengthen community bonds......

In recent years, while the popularity of modern shopping malls and online marketplaces has grown, Haats have continued to be an integral part of the local economy. They provided a livelihood for countless people, especially those who produced their goods. Moreover, Haats contributed to the preservation of traditional crafts and cultural heritage.Beyond their commercial significance, for a long time, Haats also have served as important social hubs.

On the one hand, this year's farewell is on the edge as Chaitey Dashain knocks, and on the other hand, the New Year's roan is hitting the bell. Dashain, the great festival of Nepali people and a festival carrying cultural significance famous as Navratri. This Chaitey Dashain is a reflection of the main Dashain that occurs during Asoj, Kartik of Bikram Sambat calendar. According to the myths, in the past, the main Dashain used to fall in Chait but due to the dry seasons and frequently occurring droughts later Dashain was shifted to Asoj Kartik (Middle of the year).
We commemorate Chaitey Dashain on Asthami (Eight Day) because this eight-day is a day of scarifying our wills, desires and also offering animals to Goddesses .Lord Rama returned back from his 14 years of exile, on this day. This day is the purest depiction of the truth against the false, light against darkness and humanity against inhumane attributes.Falsehood and inequality may decrease, truth and righteousness must always prevail....Jai Mata Di!!!!
