Dashain is the national and one of the biggest festivals in 
holy book).
People put red colored rice (Tika) on forehead and sprouts of barley (Jamara) on their head. Red colour symbolizes happiness and rice and sprouts are symbol of prosperity. Tika and jamara is taken from elders along with blessings. I still remember that in my childhood I used to count the days for Dashain to come because I could get 15 days holiday from school and new dresses for the festival.
