Vijaya Dashami (also known as Dashain) is the biggest and most significant Hindu festival, celebrated with great joy and religious fervor, because Nepali people believe Goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. So, on this day, Nepali people rush to receive Tika (a mixture of rice, yogurt, and vermillion) and Jamara (barley sprouts) from elders, along with their blessings.
