Guru Puja [44]
The last day in this fortnight, the full-moon day, is the day of Guru Puja, when people are supposed to worship their gurus . Although the day is included in local calendrical lists, it is observed—otherwise than as an ordinary full-moon day—by only a relatively few families in Bhaktapur. It is considered to be generally a Partya, a non-Newar Nepalese Hindu tradition. (Minor.)
