Ashar (Mid June) being the major monsoon season in Nepal, is the month of rice plantation across the country. Mainly in the Hilly areas of Nepal, the day Ashar 15 is celebrated as Ropai(Plantation) Festival. It could be visualized as Oxen ploughing fields, women sowing seeds and men digging the fields. The best part of this festival is throwing mud at each other and being drenched all over with muddy water along with the rice plantation. It is the day of fun and enjoyment for all the farmers. More than considering it as a working day, they shares happiness, bonding and pray for good crops.
