The three bottom compartments of this Silver Tikadani from Nepal are used to store the vermillion, red-painted rice, and curd used for Tika, while the middle vase-like structure is used to store the precious Jamara, the Barley sprout. Dasain's favorite and most significant thing is the Jamara. Many individuals use vermillion as well for the tika. Many Nepalese families use this Tikadani with the auspicious pictures of Lakshmi Ganesh and the fortunate composition of silver metal to present tika and blessings to their loved ones. The fish motifs at the base of the Tikadani carry great symbolism and justify the Tikadani’s role in bringing prosperity and growth by being a part of the rituals. During Nepal's colorful Dasain celebration, this Silver Tikadani with holy figures of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi is a treasured sign of heritage and devotion.
