Dipankar Buddha is paraded through the alleyways of Bhaktapur, Nepal, on August 21, 2025, observing the Panchadan, the festival of five summer gifts. Observed annually on Triodashi, two days prior to the Kushe Aunsi or Father's Day according to the lunar calendar, this Buddhist festival sees Dipankar Buddha dancing and touring around the city. In this Buddhist festival, gifts are made by the laity to the monks. Buddhist antiques are displayed, and gigantic effigies of Dipankar are paraded around the town. Since monastic Buddhism has long been extinct in Nepal, the receivers of the gifts today are the Buddhist priests, the Shakyas, and the Vajracharyas, who go begging alms to the houses of their clients. However, the main highlight of the festival is the giving away of five elements: wheat grains, rice grains, salt, money, and fruit. Traditional collections of artifacts are displayed in monasteries and households on this occasion. On this day, people donate rice, money, and other items based on their capacity.
