Vijayadashami (also known as Dussehra) is a festival celebrated across India. It is celebrated on the tenth day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Ashwayuja or Ashwina, and is the grand culmination of the 10-day annual festival of Dasara or Navaratri. The legend underlying the celebration, and its mode of conduct, vary vastly by region; however, all festivities celebrate the victory of the forces of Good over Evil. It is also considered to be an auspicious day to begin new things in life.

Didn't know what it was until I read this... but I just have to give the Indian people mad props (that's a good thing) for being able to spell those long a** names. I'm sure that the average American student (or adult for that matter) couldn't do it.

Vijayadashami,

dashami - tenth day of Hindu calendar.
Avatar of Vishnu 'Ram' killed ten headed Ravan (king of Shree Lanka) who was demon.

It's a topical lotion you rub on your butt to make it shiny and more attractive to the opposite sex in Tibet. It can make you see better at night for some reason as well.
