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.
