Sunita Dangol (center), Deputy Mayor of Kathmandu, inaugurates the Yomari Punhi and Jyapu Day celebration parade in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 4, 2025. The steaming hot delicacy, shaped like a fig and filled with molasses and sesame seeds, is commonly called Yomari in the Newa community. It marks the start of the consumption of fresh-harvest rice from the full moon of Poush, the ninth month of the Nepali lunar calendar. The harvest festival, marked with fanfare by the Newa community of the Kathmandu Valley, gets its name from Yomari, the fresh-harvest rice sweetmeat. According to various beliefs, Suchandra and Krita, a married couple, first experiment with the fresh yield of rice from their field in present-day Panauti City in ancient times. The couple then distributes the new delicacy to the villagers, who like it, and it is named Yomari, which in the Newa language means ''tasty bread.'' It not only is tasty but also helps to keep one warm in winter and helps to increase blood and sperm.
