Thinla (month)

[1] The month corresponds to Margashirsha (मार्गशीर्ष) in the Hindu lunar calendar and roughly matches December in the Gregorian calendar.

The main event during this month is the Hindu festival of Vaikuntha Ekadashi which is dedicated to Vishnu.

The full moon is also a major religious holiday.

In Nepal Mandala, the day is celebrated as Yomari Punhi (यःमरि पुन्हि).

The special food of the day is a confection known as Yomari, a dumpling made of rice-flour dough filled with a paste of molasses and sesame seeds.
