Ghambar, was originally the celebration to offer thanks to God, for the four different seasons, on which the prosperity of the world depended. These were free but today, in our Sub- continent in the month of 'Dae', in memory of our departed ones, special food is cooked. As it is not possible to feed the whole community free, it is on nominal subscription so that all may eat together on on table, rich and poor, not only in wealth but in intellectual knowledge, with the idea of meeting together, to learn from each other. The menu usually is Ambakalia, kuchumbar, rotli, papata ma gosht, Dhansaak and a sweet.
