Dashain, Nepal’s biggest festival, brings families together and spreads joy across the country. In 2082, Bijaya Dashami Tika will be celebrated on Thursday, Ashwin 16. The most auspicious time for tika in Nepal is 11:53 AM(Nepali Time). On this day, elders bless younger family members with tika, jamara, and dakshina, marking the heart of the festival.
Does Dashain affect the share market?
The Dashain festival also affects the Nepalese share market. Many offices, both government and private, remain closed from Phulpati to Dwadashi. This causes lower trading volumes and reduced market activity. Traders and investors are advised to complete important transactions before September 29 and monitor the market closely after the festival. Seasonal gains are often seen in sectors like retail, FMCG, and tourism during Dashain.
Dashain is a time for family, blessings, and careful financial planning. Enjoy the tika ceremony and reunite with loved ones, while keeping an eye on the share market for a smooth and prosperous year ahead.
