About the Dashain tika photo frame

During Dashain, elders put tika — a mix of rice, curd and vermilion — on the forehead of younger family members and give them a blessing and some dakshina. Photos from that moment are some of the most treasured of the year. This tool adds a festive Dashain (or Tihar) frame to any photograph, so a picture from your phone comes out looking ready to share.

How to use it

Upload a photo, choose a frame — marigold, jamara green, golden tika, lamp row and more — and the preview updates instantly. Each frame includes a Nepali greeting such as “शुभ दशैं” or “शुभ तिहार”. When you are happy with it, “Download PNG” saves a square, 1080×1080 image for WhatsApp, Facebook or Viber.

Your photos stay private

The frame is drawn on a canvas inside your browser. Your photo is never uploaded or stored on a server — it only exists in this tab, and closing the page removes it. That makes the tool safe for personal and family photos.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put a Dashain tika photo frame on my picture?
Upload a photo, pick a frame from the swatches and tap “Download PNG”. The preview updates live, and the framed image is saved as a square 1080×1080 PNG.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The frame is drawn in your browser using a canvas. Your photo never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.
What greeting does each frame show?
Dashain frames show greetings such as “शुभ दशैं” and “शुभ विजयादशमी”, and Tihar frames show “शुभ तिहार” and “शुभ दीपावली”, with an English line beneath each.
What kind of photo works best?
A portrait photo, especially one taken close to the subject, fills the square frame best. Landscape photos are cropped from the centre to fill the square.
