In many parts of [[Nepal]], the arrival of monsoon marks a special time for cultivating rice. This occasion starts with farmers, men and women, planting rice ({{lang-ne|राेपाइं}}) while singing plantation songs. The farmers then participate in the mud festival, throwing mud at each other and welcoming the monsoon season. The festival ends with people sharing "dahi chiura ({{lang-ne|दही चिउरा}})" (literally "beaten rice with curds") with each other.
