As October has already begun, the fever of dashai or dushera has begun with people starting to clean their houses, buy new clothes and then on the day of dakshmi, which we commonly call Tika, we apply tika or tilak made up of rice grains and colour known as chamal ko tika.
I suppose all my Nepali and gorkhali friends are very excited about dashai which is very near. Mirik Bazar ma pani dherai bhir badna lageko cha with the market crowd growing when people set off to buy new clothes and stuff for dashai.
Do leave your views about dashai and take a look at some photos below where dashai ko tika is being applied.
