The tenth day, Vijayadashami, is the most important day of Dashain. It signifies the victory of good over evil as Lord Ram’s victory over the demon king Ravana and Durga’s victory over Mahishasura are celebrated. On this day, elders place *tika* (a mixture of rice, yogurt and vermilion) on the foreheads of younger family members and bless them for their prosperity, health and long life. Families come together to exchange gifts, share festive meals and renew relationships. The Tika ritual promotes a sense of unity and blessing that strengthens family bonds.

Throughout the festival, Dashain is a time of joy, celebration and reflection. As part of the celebrations, houses are cleaned and decorated, new clothes are worn and kites are flown. Dashain symbolizes not only the victory of good over evil, but also the triumph of renewal, community and faith. It is a celebration that transcends religious boundaries and brings people together to celebrate life, family and the universal message of hope and justice.
