Tugpa Cheshyi
This festival is celebrated on the occasion of the first sermon given by Buddha Shakya Muni in Sarnath of Baranashi town to the five-class Bhadra Shishya Sangh. This festival is usually celebrated on Chaturdashi of Shuklapaksh in the month of Shravan and is also called Chyokhor Korvi Duchen (Dharma Chakra Pravartan Divas). As it falls in the fourth (cheshyi) of the sixth month (tugpa) of the Mongols, it is called tugpa cheshyi. This is one of the important days under Buddha Shakyamuni. From this day onwards children are introduced for education.

टुग्पा छेश्यि
बुद्ध शाक्य मुनिले बाराणशी नगरको सारनाथमा सर्वप्रथम पञ्च वर्गीय भद्रशिष्य संघलाई धर्मदेशना दिनूभएको उपलक्ष्यमा यो धर्मोत्सव मनाइन्छ । प्रायः श्रावन महिनाको शुक्लपक्षको चतुर्दशीमा मनाइने यो धर्मोत्सव दिवसलाई छ्योखोर कोर्वी दुछेन (धर्म चक्र प्रवर्तन दिवस) पनि भनिन्छ । मंगोलको छैटौं महिना (टुग्पा) को चौथी (छेश्यी) मा पर्ने भएकाले टुग्पा छेश्यी भनिएको हो । यो बुद्ध शाक्यमुनिको महत्वपूण दिवसहरु मध्ये एक हो । यो दिनबाट बाल बच्चाहरुलाई विद्याध्ययनको लागि शुभारम्भ गर्ने गरिन्छ ।
