A silver Tikadani is an essential feature of Nepal's Dasain festival. It is this rite that distinguishes Dasain in Nepal from Dussehra. This silver Tikadani with two bowls, one central plate, and a long vase-like structure, all attached to stand-by branches, is used during this festival to place the vermillion, red-painted rice, and curd used for Tika, and the central vase-like structure is used to place the sacred Jamara, the Barley sprout. The fish design at the bottom and the Lord Ganesha motif at the crown are symbols of prosperity and expansion, which the Nepalese people display throughout the celebration.
