As Nepalis celebrate the main day of Bada Dashain with tika and jamara, the festival also connects deeply with how people look at wealth and prosperity. Just as blessings from elders are believed to bring long life and success, investors often see this season as a moment of new beginnings in the market.
Timing and Belief
The Nepal Panchang Committee announced the best time for tika this year at 11:53 in the morning. In the same way investors wait for the right entry point, families also wait for this “sait” (auspicious time) to receive tika. Facing east or west during tika may sound symbolic, but it reflects the same principle of positioning yourself right—whether in life or in stocks.
Growth and Blessings
Dashain is not just about rituals. The tika and jamara given by elders symbolize growth, victory, and prosperity. Investors too look for growth stocks, long-term blessings, and stability. Just as jamara sprouts from a small seed on Ghatasthapana, small investments today can become the wealth of tomorrow.
Missed the Day? No Worries
If you can’t receive tika today, tradition allows it until Kojagrat Purnima. Likewise, missing one trading day doesn’t end opportunities markets always open again, and chances to invest keep coming.
