Another joy that my favorite festival 'Dhoko' is coming. Our thirty-two kothe lamps! The intervening day between Diwali and the leap year is 'Dhoko.' We think this is a special festival, because it only comes once in a while. We want it to happen every year but it does? We will say goodbye to the year of Vikram Samvat 2080 on the day of Diwali, but we were patient for a special day after 'Dhoka Parva'. No. 2081 will be released. May this 'Dhoko Parva' be achieved by the grace of the moon god, if the Tithi fluctuations, Adhikamas, Kshayamas etc. come in the Panchag based on the mathematics of the art of the moon. Therefore, 'Dhoka Din' should also be considered as an important day. If 'Dhoka Din' is added to this festival which starts from Vak Barash, it becomes Parvasaptika and gets the benefit of one more day of festival celebration. There are other forms of laundry, one of which is laundry laundry. Its presence is indispensable in every house and in the hand of the housewife. Before the advent of the washing machine, clothes were the only way to remove dirt and grime. A woman used to wash clothes by knocking on a rock on the bank of a flowing river or on a shell on the bank of a well. The rhythm emanating from it sounded like a trumpet and no one dared to move in that direction. Dhoko used to work with weapons at times, but he did not apply weaponry. Mother would often beat the mischievous boys and threaten to throw them away. The street children used to enjoy the game of cricket using the same dhoka as a bat. In Sanghedabazar, you can find avanwa dhoka. A shop had a large stock of dhokas of many different shapes but there was a terrible slowdown when the machine arrived. A writer friend gave the solution and said that do some engraving on the dhoka and kill the board or 'Dhani Marwana dhoka' will be found from here. As soon as the trader implemented it, the dhokas were sold. Dhoka Parva is a great honor for us, so we go out early in the morning to celebrate 'Dhoka Mubarak'. Let us knock on the doors of many snoring in their sleep and compel them to accept our hospitality. Thus, we celebrate 'Dhoka Din' in a colorful way. All of you are requested to join it willingly. Jai Dhoka Dev! }
