What is Dasami?
The tenth lunar day of each fortnight, the eve of Ekadasi: those who keep the Ekadasi fast eat a single meal on Dasami. Muhurtham rules count Dasami as a purna (full) thithi that suits new work, and Vijaya Dasami, the day Navarathri ends, is the day of Vidyarambham and fresh starts.
What can you do on Dasami?
Dasami is not a fast day of its own. For those who will keep the Ekadasi fast next day, it is the day to get ready: a single meal, and a light supper or none. Muhurtham rules count Dasami a good thithi, so new work can begin.
- Keeping Ekadasi? One meal at midday
- A light supper, or none
- Get the tulasi and flowers ready for Ekadasi
- New work can start in a good time slot
Vijaya Dasami is the day of Vidyarambham for children; it has its own page.
