Dashain Holiday/Pradosh Vrata/World Smile Day

The tradition of Tika after Dashami.

Mainly the Tika of Dashami day is considered special. Keeping in mind the context where it is not possible to wear tika on the day of Dashami itself because of the traveling distance, the tradition of tika and jamra till the Poorima has been established.

From the Dashami day to the full moon, the Tika pursuit continues and till Dwadashi, Dashain holiday is given.


Pradosh Vrat

Triodashi is called Pradosh. Like Ekadashi, Pradosh is important every month, Vishnu is remembered in Ekadashi and Shiva is remembered in Pradosh. Pradosh begins 45 minutes before sunset and ends 45 minutes after sunset.

Pradosha Katha
It is mentioned in the scriptures that Lord Shiva cured the disease of the moon on the day of Triodashi, when the effect of the moon was diminishing.

Due to this, Pradosh Vrat is observed in Triodashi of every month in remembrance of Lord Shiva. It is more fruitful to worship Shiva in the time of pradosh.

A smile is a feeling that comes out of our mind which makes the people around us happy and attracts everyone to us.

Since a smile is important for everyone, Smile Day is celebrated around the world on the first Friday of October every year to reflect on the importance of a smile.

Harvey Ball, a Worcester-based artist, brought a smile to his face during his performance in 1963, and people's attention was drawn to the importance of smiles. Since then, the day has been formally celebrated since 1999.

Since the death of Harvey Ball in 2001, the "World Harvey Ball Smile Foundation", founded in his memory, has been organizing Smile Day special events in many places today. The foundation's slogan is "Improve the world with a smile."
