Nwagi (Nepali: न्वागी), also spelled Nuwagi or Udhauli, is a major festival celebrated the by Kirati people (Yakkha , Limbu , Rai , Sunuwar ) and Chepang people , which is performed on a Tuesday during third week of Bhadra (some day in August and September).
Nwagi is celebrated prior to eating the harvested food crops, some of which are offered to ancestors and nature gods. Locals believe that if somebody eats the crops without celebrating Nwagi, they will be cursed by their ancestors.[1][2][3][4][5]
