Dashain is also called as Bijaya Dasami. We celebrate Dashain for fifteen days. The first day of Dashain is called Ghatasthapana. We grow jamara in Ghatasthapana. As days passed by, regular rituals are observed till the seventh day. The seventh day is called Fulpati. In Fulpati the royal kalash is filled with holy water, banana stalks, jamara and sugar cane tied with red cloth is carried by Brahmans on a decorated palanquin under a gold tipped and embroidered umbrella. The eighth day is called Maha Ashtami. In Maha Ashtami we do pooja of Goddess Durga and we also do pooja of vehicles.
