Kathmandu, July 31: Today, Shrawan 15th in the Lunar calendar, is being celebrated in Nepali society by eating kheer or rice puddin
th abundance of green fodder. When there is more milk, it is customary to make Kheer, and invite friends and families to savour it.
This is also considered good for health,” says Dr Ramchandra Gautam, a theologian and former chair of the Nepal Calendar Determination Committee.
Kheer is made from rice, savdhana, sewai, corn, carrots, etc. The Nepali Brihat Sabdakosh defines kheer as ‘rice cooked in milk, or a delicious food made by cooking rice with milk sugar and spices.’ The National Dairy Development Board also celebrates Shrawan 15 as Kheer Eating Day or Kheer Day.
