Vermillion powder and flowers are showered upon the service dogs on the day of Kukur (Dog) Tihar in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 20, 2025. In the Central Dog Training School in Kathmandu, the dogs receive garlands and a medal for their special contribution to security and helping in solving cases. The dogs, regarded as guardians and messengers of Yama, are offered garlands and bread and are worshipped with vermilion powder and flowers. In the Rigveda, one of the Vedas in Hindu religion, Samara, the mother of dogs, assists Indra, the ruler of heaven, in retrieving stolen cattle. On the second day of Yama Panchak or Tihar, Nepal honors the role played by dogs by worshipping pet and stray dogs early in the morning for the devotion and sincerity they show. The canine, known for its trust as a sentry and as a faithful companion to humans since ancient times, is worshipped annually in Nepal.
