Vijaya Dashami विजया दशमी

The tenth day of Dashain, when elders give tika and jamara with blessings.

Vijaya Dashami, the “tenth day of victory”, is the main day of Dashain. Elders put red tika — a mix of rice, yoghurt and vermilion — on the foreheads of younger relatives and place jamara on their heads, giving blessings.
