Dashami means ten. is the Sanskrit word for "ten", and it is the tenth day in the lunar fortnight (Paksha) of the Hindu calendar. Each month has two Dashami days, being the tenth day of the "bright" fortnight (Shukla) and the "dark" fortnight (Krishna) respectively. Therefore, Dashami occurs on the 25th and 25th of each month. It is a very important day of the great festival of the Hindus, Dashain. Some people fast while others enjoy a delicious meal with family members who come from near and far areas to celebrate festivals with their loved ones. It is also Dashain's main day.
