Shrawan 15, also known as Kheer Khane Din, is a traditional day celebrated in Nepal with the special preparation and sharing of kheer a sweet rice pudding made with milk, rice, sugar, and ghee. Observed on the 15th day of the Nepali month of Shrawan (around late July or early August), this day marks the mid-point of the holy month of Shrawan, which is considered auspicious, especially for religious activities and fasting. Families prepare kheer as an offering to deities and also as a way to bond over a special meal. It symbolizes purity, prosperity, and cultural unity. People often share kheer with neighbors, friends, and community members, promoting togetherness and goodwill. In many schools, homes, and institutions, the day is celebrated with simple gatherings where everyone enjoys a bowl of warm, delicious kheer.
