KATHMANDU: The 10th day of the Bada Dasain festival is being celebrated all over the country today with great enthusiasm by receiving ‘tika’ and blessings from elders.

The auspicious hour of receiving tika is 11:36 am, according to the Nepal Calendar Determination Committee.

Although the auspicious hour for receiving Prasad of Devi has been fixed 11.36 am today as per the requirement of the calendar, the entire day after the immersion of the Goddess is auspicious for that purpose.

The worship of Shree Durga Bhawani at Dasainghars over nine days concludes formally on the day of Bijaya Dashami after the Abhishekh or sprinkling of holy water takes place marking the beginning of tika.

People receive tika and jamara till the full moon day.

Tika and jamara are considered the auspicious gifts of the goddess Nawa Durga and they signify prosperity.

It is believed that one need not seek an auspicious hour if one undertakes any new assignment, campaign or journey on the auspicious day of Bijaya Dashami.

The Bijaya Dashami festival is celebrated in commemoration of the victory of truth over evil and the victory of divine forces over demonic forces.
