Get Ready for the Tamu Fiesta! Celebrating New Year the Gurung Way

Get ready to unleash your inner party animal, cause Tamu Losar, the grand Gurung New Year, is just around the corner! Forget fireworks and countdown clocks – this exciting festival is all about feasting, dancing, and celebrating life with your loved ones. So, let’s dive into the heart of Tamu Losar and uncover its traditions!

Tamu Losar marks the beginning of a brand new year in the Gurung calendar, usually falling in December or January. It’s a time to wash away the old, welcome the new, and shower blessings on friends and family. See it as a much more enjoyable version of a divine spring cleaning for your soul!

Tamu Losar is similar to mouthwatering dishes like “sel roti,” a special flatbread cooked on open flames, and “achaar,” a spicy, tangy pickle that packs a punch. You’ll also find steaming bowls of “Gurung thali,” a feast of rice, lentils, curries, and vegetables, ready to fuel your dancing adventures.

Get ready to shake your leg to the infectious rhythm of “sorma,” the traditional Gurung dance. When the drums play and people start dancing, everyone, no matter their age, will happily join in. You don’t need to know the dance steps—just feel the music and let your body move along!

Tamu Losar isn’t just about partying it’s also a time for reflection and renewal. Elders bless younger generations with “Tashi delek,” wishing them good health, prosperity, and happiness in the coming year. Homes are decorated with fresh flowers and fortunate symbols, bringing luck and positivity into the household.

Join the Celebration! Tamu Losar isn’t just for Gurungs everyone is welcome to join the joyous celebration! Head to Gurung communities around Nepal, experience the warmth of their hospitality, and lose yourself in the festival’s lively sights, sounds, and smells. You might even pick up a few moves for “normal”!

So, as Tamu Losar approaches, open your heart to the Gurung spirit of joy, togetherness, and new beginnings. Prepare to feast, dance, and welcome the year with a bang! Happy Tamu Losar!

Remember: Respect local customs and traditions when joining the festivities. Dress modestly, be mindful of your behavior, and ask permission before taking photos. Let’s celebrate Tamu Losar in a way that upholds its spirit and brings joy to everyone!
