Western Terrace: Dashain

At a family ceremony, a woman in a purple sari applies a red tilak to a seated woman as a man watches; flowers and ritual offerings sit nearby.

Step into a colourful celebration of Nepali culture.

Home isn't always a place. Sometimes it's the people, traditions and moments we share together.

Step into a colourful celebration of Nepali culture. Come along, make new connections, rejoice in traditional Nepali celebrations and experience the spirit of Dashain on the Western Terrace.

Whether you're reconnecting with traditions, sharing the experience with friends and family, or discovering Dashain for the first time, everyone is welcome.

Generously created in partnership with and catered by 8848 Momo House - enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with music, food, shared traditions and opportunities to connect with your sense of home.
