Dashami ( Sanskrit: दशमी, romanized: Daśamī) is the Sanskrit word for "tenth", [1] and is the tenth day in the lunar fortnight ( Paksha) of the Hindu calendar. Each month has two Dashami days, being the tenth day of the "bright" (Shukla) and of the "dark" (Krishna) fortnights respectively. [2] Dashami occurs on the tenth and the twenty-fifth day of each month.
The Hindu observance of Vijayadashami, celebrated during the festival of Navarati, falls on a dashami. [3]
