October 28: Hindus residing in Nepal observed the Kojagrat Purnima (full moon day) on Saturday as part of the final day of the 15-day Bada Dashain festival. People worship and pay homage to Mahalaxmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, on this day.    
The Bada Dashain festival formally ends with the marking of the Kojagrat Purnima--devotees offering worship to Mahalaxmi at their homes in the evening, and keeping vigil the whole night.      
There is a belief that the goddess Mahalaxmi takes a trip around the world on the night of Kojagrat Purnima 'to check as to who is observing the vigil on this particular night'. As per this belief, the goddess of wealth blesses the people who are found observing the overnight vigil, according to the Nepal Calendar Determination Committee.    
Since the ritual of giving and receiving Tika and Jamara of the Dashain festival also concludes on this day, the Jamara that is sprouted and anointed at the Dashainghar on the day of Ghatasthapana is disposed of as per the religious tradition today.    
People also perform worship at the Swoyambhu Chaitya and observe the night vigil by lighting the lamps.

Also today, a partial lunar eclipse will occur tonight. -- RSS
