Is it true that Nepal celebrates Diwali, known there as Tihar, as a major national festival?

Yes. Reference works state that in Nepal Diwali is a major festival called Tihar, with its own national holiday, and that Tihar is the second biggest Nepali festival after Dashain. Other sources confirm Tihar is celebrated in Nepali communities, though without addressing its national status.
