"Happy Vijaya Dashami 2069 to all readers, friends and fans."_emazzaa.com family.

The 10th day of the Bada Dashain festival is being celebrated across the country today with great enthusiasm by receiving Teeka and blessings from elders.

"On the day of Vijaya Dashami, , the offerings to Nawa Durga are immersed in rivers and ponds as per religious rituals (Bisarjan) from 10:35 am and the auspicious hour of receiving Teeka is 11: 29 am," said Dr. Madhav Bhattarai, President of the Nepal Calendar Determination Committee.

Although the auspicious hour for receiving Prasad of Devi has been fixed 11:29 am today as per the requirement of the calendar, the entire day after the immersion of the Goddess is auspicious for that purpose, Dr Bhattarai said.

The worship of Durga Bhawani at Dashainghars 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 Teeka.

People receive Teeka and Jamara till the full moon day. Teeka 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 Vijaya Dashami.

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

Prez to offer Teeka to public

KATHMANDU: President Dr Ram Baran Yadav will offer Dashain Teeka to the general public from 12.30 pm on Wednesday on the occasion of the Vijaya Dashami festival.

According to the Office of the President, the gate of Shital Niwas, the President's Residence, would remain open until 5.00 pm on Wednesday for people interested in receiving Teeka from the President.

Even after the abolition of monarchy in 2008, the President, on his capacity as the head of the state, continued the Teeka tradition.

Simulataneously, the deposed king, Gyanendra Shah, has also continued the age old tradition of the royal family.

Nepali students not secured in India:

A Nepali student at National Law School in the southern Indian city of Bangalore was ' gang-rape d' on Saturday night, police said. The incident was revealed on Monday morning after the victim in her early twenties registered a first information report with Jnanabharathi Police Station.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) in Bangalore, SN Siddaramappa, told the Post over the phone that search for the culprits had been intensified. "We have arrested a number of suspects. However, their involvement could not be immediately established," he added.

Siddaramappa informed that the police were waiting for the victim's medical reports. "Results of the medical tests are important but they are not the only criteria to establish that rape has taken place. The victim's statement is the most important thing--she has reported that she was gang-rape d and, hence, we are moving ahead on that basis," said Siddaramappa.

Police have notified the Nepali embassy in New Delhi about the incident. Embassy officials immediately talked to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, requesting authorities to look into the matter seriously.

"After receiving the information, we have talked to the concerned officials and urged them to bring the culprits to book as soon as possible," said Tirtha Raj Wagle, counsellor at the Nepali embassy.

In the complaint lodged with the police, the victim is said to have stated that she was raped by a gang of eight miscreants. The gang attacked her male companion during a walk, before dragging her to an isolated place to rape, Indian media have reported.
