Gokarna Aunsi is the most auspicious day to honour ones father for his guidance and teachings in life. It is the day when sons and daughters, near or far, come with presents and confections to spend the day with their father. It is also known as Kuse Aunsi which falls on the dark fortnight.
People who do not have a living father go to Gokarna Mahadev Temple situated in the north – east of Kathmandu. People perform rituals and offer grains, vegetables and fruits to priests present for the occasion.
