People take photos under the decorated lights on the premises of a decked-up temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, as they prepare to celebrate Tihar or Diwali. During Tihar, people light up earthen lamps and candles in their homes for three days while performing Pooja of Goddess Laxmi. It is believed that Goddess Laxmi showers blessings on the houses that glow with lights throughout the night. Laxmi Pooja and the worship of the cow are performed on the same day because Goddess Laxmi is said to have emerged bearing a lotus along with a divine cow when the Devata (Gods) and Asuras (Demons) churned the ocean of milk (Ksheera Sagara), as stated in the Vishnu Purana. On the occasion of Laxmi Pooja, also known as Diwali, people in Nepal and India do not let any nook and corner of the house remain dark and light up lamps, candles, and lights, appealing to Goddess Laxmi to shower blessings on them. The Pooja is especially done by the ladies of the family in the presence of all members, reciting the Sri Sukta hymn with the offering of coconut, which is believed to appease Goddess Laxmi.

Torun Dramdal, the Norwegian Ambassador to Nepal, arrives at Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, to attend a briefing for the international community by Nepali Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki. In her briefing, the interim prime minister assures the diplomats that the Himalayan nation steadily returns to normalcy as the government intensifies efforts to restore stability, promote transparency, and combat corruption. The Prime Minister also briefs the international community about the overall situation in Nepal and informs the diplomats about the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives, scheduled for March 5, 2026. Karki comes into power following the Gen-Z revolution, which removes communist KP Sharma Oli from power. At least 75 people are killed in two days of violence. The Gen Z protestors hit the streets demanding political accountability, an end to entrenched corruption, and the reversal of a controversial social media ban. The protests, primarily driven by students and young citizens, rapidly escalate into Nepal's bloodiest day since the 2006 pro-democracy movement. On September 8 alone, at least 21 protestors--mostly students under the age of 30--are killed. The following day sees 39 more deaths, including 15 from severe burns, while an additional 14 fatalities are recorded over the next ten days. To date, the death toll stands at 75.
