Tikka day

Today, the 10:th day, is the most important day during Dashain festival.
Our landlords invited us to get the religious symbol tikka, a red paste with rice, put in the forehead.
Watch when Nicholas gets his tikka here.
The grass behind his ear is very important in Nepalese culture.
Here are we together with our landlords. Tikka, very spicy food and homemade rice wine was on the menu.
This is a typical Nepalese festival meal, served on a banana leaf plate.
They've even put things in the street to celebrate.
