Manner in which festival is celebrated has evolved

KATHMANDU: Dashain, a major festival celebrated by Nepalis, is regarded as a festival of joy, happiness, and victory.

Dashain is also referred to as Dussehra, Vijaya Dashami, and Navaratri Ayudha Puja. Dashain (Navaratri), which is also celebrated as a national wish, is celebrated by Hindu devotees from the day of Shukla Pratipada in the month of Ashwin to Navami (Navaratri) by worshiping goddesses for ten days, starting on the day of Dashami and ending on the full moon by taking tika blessings from the hands of those who are older than themselves.
