Dashami (Sanskrit:दशमी,romanized: Daśamī) is theSanskrit word for "tenth",[1] and is the tenth day in the lunar fortnight (Paksha) of theHindu 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 ofVijayadashami, celebrated during the festival ofNavarati, falls on a dashami.[3]
