R C RAINA says Tiky Chorum: This festival was celebrated in the house of Shri Prithvi Nath Ji Tikoo at Karfali Mohalla, Srinagar The compound had three houses all belonging to Tikoo's and there was a sacred well in the compound.Thousands of Kashmiri Pandits, irrespective of whether their surname was Tikoo or something else would visit the house of Shri Prithvi Nath Ji to have darshan if Mata Tripura. They would also lit ratabdeeps and place them around the sacred well. It used to be a full day festival. I have spent my childhood in this compound playing with Late Shri Satish Kumar Tikoo and other children of Tikoo families living there.

Rahul Tikku says Found something on the "Tiku" surname ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_Pandit_festivals Tiky Tsoram Tripura Sundari, literally meaning “she who is lovely in the three worlds”, is one of the most important goddesses worshipped in the Tantric tradition in Kashmir. Her cult is particularly popular among the Tiku clan of Kashmiri Pandits who celebrate her festival on Tiky chorum(4th.maag one day before Vasant Panchami) . The surname ‘Tiku’ is derived from “trika”, according to popular etymology. Her devotees believe that she combines in her form all three Goddesses, Mahalakshmi, Maha-sarswati and Mahakali, and all three of her cosmic functions. However, she is also worshipped by the entire Brahmin community in Kashmir and from very early times.
