National constitution Day of Nepal
Background:
For the first time in the history of the country, the 65-years of aspiration of the people to make a constitution through the elected representatives of the people has come true. This was on the 2072 BS Asoj 3, Nepal's first President Ram Baran Yadav signed and approved the "Constitution of Nepal 2072". Today is the Asoj 3rd, the national constitution day of Nepal, the day to commemorate the promulgation of the Nepali constitution. The Constitution of Nepal 2072 brought by the contribution, sacrifice, penance, and sweat of thousands of Nepali has proved to be truly fruitful and auspicious. By the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nepal 2072 BS, Nepal has moved forward on the path of law and republican rule. According to the draft constitution signed by eight parties including the Maoists, the full constitution has been issued replacing the interim constitution issued on Magh 1st, 2063 BS.
Efforts in developing the constitution
After the first Constituent Assembly failed to give a successful draft of the constitution within the stipulated time, the election of the second Constituent Assembly and its consequent effect played a big role in the proclamation of the Constitution of Nepal 2072 BS. Restructuring the state into a federal republic of Nepal, the constitution has transformed the total of seven provinces and the previous constitutional monarchy into a republic and the unitary state structure into federalism. This constitution, which has made it easy for them to get citizenship with the desired gender identity, has given continuity to the abolition of the death penalty like the constitution of 2047 BS. Providing equal rights to daughters in patrimonial property like sons, this constitution is firmly in favor of gender empowerment in all respects and defines Nepal as a secular nation.
Nepal's sovereignty and independence is an example and a matter of pride for the world. Nepali soil and Nepalis have no history of being colonized or under foreign rule by any country till now. After the unification of the nation-builder Prithvi Narayan Shah, the entire territory of the baisey and chaubisey rajyas is a sovereign and independent country. According to the provisions and essence of the constitution, no Nepali today has to tolerate discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, caste, class, color, identity, language, or any other basis. Now the power has been delegated to the provincial and local governments for further development and prosperity.

Dwitiya Shradhha
It means always salutations to the gods, pitras, great yogis, svaha and svadha.With the commencement of the Sorha Sraddha may all the godlike Pitri in the Pitri realm between heaven and earth obtain salvation, may all the Pitri cross the Baitarni River, and may the ancestral love be maintained.
May the blessings of the ancestors be maintained, may goodness and good wishes are maintained, and we are the remnants of the ancestors in today's form, aren't we?Tarpan, Diyo Puja, Vishwedeva Brahman, and other pujas can be performed before the appointed time. There is a belief that if the Pinda is not donated at this time, the Pitris will not get it. Sanatana Philosophy largely acknowledges the importance of Pitri in the existence of life and the universe.
In Vedic Sanatan Sanskrit, Pitrikarma i.e. shraddha is usually performed twice, regular shraddha is performed on the tithi of death and another shraddha is performed during the period of Sorha shraddhas. May peace and happiness prevail in every family with the commencement of this year's Sorha Shraddha Wishing for the salvation of the Pitri who passed away on the Ditiya Shraddha tithi.
