Day of Tihar Lakshmi Puja, while the Hindu Nepalis bring the goddess of wealth Lakshmi into their houses, the tribal Tharu community living in the Terai play hookah-hookah and Suppa(Nanglo) from house to house by tricking ghosts, Pichas and Dalidar (monsters) out and bringing in Lakshmi. Since ancient times, the Tharu community of the East has been playing hookah-hookah made of sandhi (the left over jute after removing jute) to bring in Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Similarly, the Tharu community of western Nepal brings in Lakshmi by chanting 'Bhaag Dalidari Otti Ja Lakshmi Gharam Aa' (Bhaag Dalidari Otti Ja Lakshmi Gharam Aa) like madal thok.

According to Tharu culture expert Bhulai Chaudhary, the Tharu community of the East used to play hookah to bring in Lakshmi and ward off the negative side so that no calamity befalls them, the ghosts, Pichas and Dalidar (monsters) in the house go out and the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, enters.

He says, 'Hukke Hukka is an original festival of the Tharu community. Ghosts, Pichas and Dalidars (monsters) hiding in the house during the year are chased away from the house by setting fire to the Santhi. Then Lakshmi is brought inside. This practice is ancient in our society.'

In the evening of Lakshmi Puja, Tharu community usually prepare hookah hookah in their house/toll neighborhood from Sanpat in the afternoon. On this day, they make hookah-hookah in their house from sunpat/jute (or bring it after asking from others).

Culture expert Choudhary says that it is being played in the districts of Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Saptari, Udaipur, Sirha, Sarlahi, Rautahat and others in the east. He says, 'Hukke-Hukka tribals living in the Terai used to play this game to stay free from negative forces such as ghosts and evil spirits while living in the dense forest and to enjoy the rice and crops well.'

Tharu Pandit Shivshankar Choudhary says that due to lack of Sanpati, the Hooke Hookah game played on the day of Lakshmi Puja in the Tharu community has become extinct. He says, 'Though the Tharu community played hookah hookah made of Sanpat until a few years ago, it is disappearing recently because the young generation does not protect it. Sanpat is not produced as before and Taltalaiya has also started to be buried. Young people are becoming attracted towards artificiality.'

Nandabatti Chaudhary, a farmer of Triyuga Municipality-3, Motigada, said that the youth should save this tradition of the Tharu community. She said, 'The lake was drained, the ponds were filled. On the other hand, Sanpat is not found much. It seems that the Tharu youth should be united and protected in how to play now.'

According to tradition, the hookah is lit in the lamp placed in the hearth of the house. It is a custom to give the hookah hookah that has been lit in this way three times and go around the house and play logi in an empty square. They used to say this while playing.

the Tharu community used to bring in Lakshmi by playing hookah-hookah.

According to legend, Thuto who played hookah is kept in the vegetable garden. It is believed that the growth will be good. It is a custom to collect the remaining part of the hookah hookah and burn it in the fire pit to ensure that the grain crops are harvested well and go home three times. But nowadays, due to lack of open fields, lack of cultivation of rice paddy and indifference to the original culture among the youth, this hookah hookah seems to be disappearing. .hookah hookah in the field or in the grain

buryingDiwali is considered as the day of Lakshmi Puja in the community. The work of making clay lamps starts from the morning of Lakshmi Puja. The clay lamp made by wearing it throughout the day is lit in the evening. After the cows have gone to graze and return home, the house and courtyard are cleaned and lit.

Before Tihar (Sukrait) comes, their houses are plastered with clay. It is found that the Tharu community believes that the more clean and tidy the home environment is, the more Lakshmi will live there.

All around the house, cooking oil is poured into earthen lamps and cotton lamps are lit. Some people put a bamboo cup on a banana tree in front of the gate of the house and keep an earthen lamp.

All around your house is illuminated. It is believed that lighting all around in this way pleases Lakshmi. When lighting the lamp, first of all, the work of lighting the lamp starts from the room where the deity resides (Gahbar/Sheer).

Tharus from the west bring in Lakshmi by mocking Suppa.

According to Tharu leader Lucky Chaudhary, the Tharu community of western Nepal use to bring in Lakshmi by making a joke on the day of Lakshmi Puja.

He says, 'Gharmooli lights the lamp and another person makes jokes. The slogan 'Bhaag Dalidari Otti Ja Lakshmi Gharam Aa' (Bhaag Dalidari Otti Ja Lakshmi Gharam Aa) is chanted by mocking the suppo by making a fool of himself. A person who makes fun of the snake repeats the same slogan three times while making fun of the snake.

According to him, until the lights are lit all around the house, there will be no stopping of the snake-biting. The doors, windows and inside of all the rooms are lit and the work is done to scare away the snakes from every corner of the house. It is believed that when Suppo is played in this way, evil spirits, enemies, enemies and ghosts run away from the house.

After the lights are lit everywhere inside the house, the work is done to light them all around the outside of the house. A maruva is built in front of the eastern door of the Tharu community's house. In which resides the guardian deity of the house. Lamps are lit all around the marua. Gaigoth, Dhara Pandhera, courtyard, Kausi are all illuminated by lighting lamps.

A person who plays a joke should be clean after taking a bath. Similarly, the housekeeper who lights the lamp should also be clean after taking a bath. It is believed that if you throw out the snakes, there will be no sorrow or worry in the house for a year. Tharus also have different traditions of celebrating Diwali according to place and place.
