Ṭīk (टीका) refers to a type of powder used in worship according to the Kriyā Tantra divisions of Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhism, according to Buddhist teachings followed by the Newah in Nepal, Kathmandu Valley (whose roots can be traced to the Licchavi period, 300-879 CE).—Kriyā Tantra typically involves the act of ū, worshiping a physical deity, such as an idol, and or its mandala, sometimes drawn with grains or pigmented powdered stone, with offerings connected to the senses and the primary elements, such as rice, water, food, flowers, incense, sandalwood or ṭīk powder, and the recitation of the deities' mantras and stotras.

Tika (ति�) refers to a “dot on the forehead�, according to William Stablein’s A Descriptive Analysis of the Content of Nepalese Buddhist Pujas as a Medical-Cultural System (with References to Tibetan Parallels).—T tshog shin (sacred tree) is also mentally visualized.—Cf. ĀñᲹԲ (ointments) which are well known in Vajrayāna literature. A surviving remnant of this tradition is the giving of tika [dot on the forehead]. Hence the hierophant (峦ⲹ) carries with him a small tikabandha [double-cupped vase] with the powder of yellow pigment in one cup and the Իū [powder of red lead] in the other, these represent the ܱⲹ [means] of the male principle and the ñ [insight] of the female principle, respectively. Mixed together and pressed first onto a pledged object and then onto the forehead, it signifies the transfer of ambrosia.
