During the puja of Navadurga Bhavani, the Newar community here on the day of Mahanavami light a pala lamp in the house and cover it with another pala and make Mohni Sishan (black ink) from the black dust accumulated in the pala.
On the day of Vijayadashami, red Akshata, Jamra, and Mohani between the forehead as a symbol of strength and victory. Prakash Kayastha, a Sanskritist from Bhaktapur, informed that Dasain Mohini was celebrated by wearing a black tika. He said that this day is also considered as the day of the victory of truth over falsehood, i.e. the day when Tripura's beauty Bhagwati appeared and killed Mahishasura Detya by impaling him with charms.
Mohani Sishanam is also considered as Tantric Shakti, Mohani Shakti. This morning on the auspicious occasion of tika, after putting black tika or Mohani Sih no in every house, according to the tradition of going from house to house to take pooja to Bramhayani temple, a grand fair is held in Bhaktapur's Bramhayani temple throughout the day and till night.
Thousands of pilgrims in Bramhayani temple today worship and darshan as Vramhayani Devi, who is in the form of Shaktipeeth with bazagaja, said the cultural expert Prakash Kayastha said that the Newar community accepts the Black Tika as a religious, cultural and tantric power. Mohni Nakha will be completed only after Khadga Jatra is completed in Taleju at midnight today.
Navadurga Devgan Taleju came from Bramhayani at night and disguised himself as Navadurga's sister Taleju and completed the mantra. He said that after performing Navadurga and Khadga Jatra, carrying Taleju and carrying Taleju in a grand procession, following Taleju's white horse and circumambulating the municipality, Mohani Nakha will be completed. Mohni Nakh: There is no certain fact when it started.
As there is a tradition of Khadgayatra (Payaah) on the occasion of Dasain, it is believed to have started since the introduction of Tantrayana in Nepal. The main feature of Mohini is Mohini Sinha. During Mohini, it is customary to go to the place where the Newars have been invited to 'Nakhtya' (to call the daughter).
It has been said that since King Harisinhadeva brought Taleju Bhawani from India to Nepal in 444 AD, Mohni Nakhah has been celebrated. Besides, Buddhists also celebrate Mohni Nakh with different significance.
