(बाबुको मुख हेर्ने दिन, गोकर्णे औंसी , कुशे औंसी )
What is Kushe Ausi
Father, mother and teacher are given the place of God in Hindu religion. Father, Pita or Babu is guru, rakshak and the palankarta. That means father is teacher, protector and the savior. Father's day is the day of paying respect once again to him.
Father’s Day is also known as Kuse Ausi or Pitri Tirpani Aausi or Gokarne Ausi. This day Nepali people pay their homage to their father with their favorite food, clothing and other dad’s favorite stuff.
Mukh Herne means "to allow someone as our relative or give respect or to recognize the achievement of someone".
This is a special day, we recognize and pay respect to our father for his care and love to us (his children and family) during his life. Hence, this day is called "Babu ko Mukh herne din” . The literal meaning of Mukh Herne is to see someone's face.

What we do in Father's day
In Father's day, he who has already lost his father remember him giving Sida daan to pandit (Sida is holy mixture of rice grains and other pure food materials with clothes).
Some men in Kathmandu go to Gokarna (a place east in Kathmandu) to do the Sraddha or pinda daan to their deceased father and some do Shradha at home or at the near river or at any holy place nearby.
Once Shiva and Parbati disappeared from Himalaya parbat. All the gods were very surprised and started searching them all across the universe. Brahma and other gods, caught Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati in Deer's lives hiding in Sleshmantak forest in Pashupatinath. The "Buck" Shiva was caught by Brahma by his horns. Horns of Shiva came out in Brahma's hand. Then Lord Shiva asked Brahma and Bishnu to establish those horns as Shiva linga in somewhere in Nepal as they think fit. Brahma placed it in Gorkarna. Since then, It is believed that worshiping Shiva in Gokarneshwor Mahadev and doing pinda daan (homage to dead people) is equivalent of visiting Gaya 10 times (Gaya is another Hindu holy place).
