Diffusion of culture

Culture is a process of changing from one place to another. Culture may be diffuse by the process of adaptation, imitation, acculturation. Recently we celebrate our grate festival Dashain. No one knows how the culture is developed. There is some saying on emergence o f Dashain festival. One is god Ram had killed the Ravana and another saying is goddess Durga killed Mahishasur. So we celebrated the Dashain on worshipping the as power of god. On the other, archeologist explains their own story. They said that in the prehistoric period hunter and gatherer plays a big game. They killed big elephant and other big animals and celebrate in a group by eating and dancing. In the Neolithic period they start to domesticate plants and animals.
On such occasion they not only used meat dishes but also use plant dishes. They celebrate it like we celebrating today great festivals.

If we turn toward the culture of Nepal we found Nepal is rich is cultural diversity. Not only cultural diversity also in language, caste and ethnic group. In the past history all Nepal is full by those ethnic group. But with the changing time Brahmin are Chhetri are found as dominant group. These ethnic groups believe that Dashain is not their own festival. But it is clear that most of the God and Goddess are belong from the same group.

In the past history Dashain is celebrated only by Bahun and Chhetri and tihar is by Vaishya and other middle class people. Similarly there is another reason why people celebrate dashain in this season. At the moment all farmer are free after harvesting their crops, paddy. Their store room is full of food and they want to gather their relatives and celebrate as like a festival.

Now in the modern time, we found that the festival is celebrated by different caste and ethnic group. After the unification of Nepal, Dashain and Tihar is celebrate as like a national festival. But the celebrating of Dashain by various ethnic group and caste group is different.In this way culture is diffuse from one place to another.
