Dashain or Baḍadashain (बडादशैँ) also referred as Vijaya Dashami, is a major Hindu religious festival in Nepal. It is also celebrated by Hindus of India and elsewhere in the world, including among the Lhotshampa of Bhutan and the Burmese Gurkhas of Myanmar. The festival is also referred as Nauratha derived from the Sanskrit word for the same festival Navaratri which literally translates to Nine Nights. A version of this festival is celebrated as NavaratriDussehra or Dashera by Hindus in India, although rites and rituals vary significantly.

It is the longest and the most auspicious festival in the Bikram Sambat and Nepal Sambat annual calendars, celebrated by Nepalese people especially Khas Pahadi Hindus, along with their diaspora throughout the globe.

Among the fifteen days on which it is celebrated, the most important days are the first, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and fifteenth.
