There is a 5-day festival of lights in Nepal where people thank dogs for their loyalty and friendship.

Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

The claim refers to the Tihar festival in Nepal, which includes a day dedicated to honoring dogs, known as Kukur Tihar. However, the festival itself is not solely about dogs but is a broader festival of lights celebrated over five days. The specific day for dogs is one part of this larger festival. Without external evidence, this claim is assessed based on general knowledge of the festival.

Every year there is a 5-day festival of lights in Nepal where people thank all the dogs for their loyalty and friendship.
The Tihar festival in Nepal includes a day called Kukur Tihar, where dogs are honored. However, the festival itself spans five days and includes other celebrations. This claim is partially true as it oversimplifies the festival's scope.
