Kathmandu. The festival of Bhai Tika is being celebrated across the country today on the last day of Tihar, the second biggest festival of Nepalis. Every year on the day of Kartik Shukla Dwitiya, there is a tradition of sisters applying seven-colored tika and velvet garlands wishing for the long life, good health, happiness and prosperity of their brothers.
On the occasion of Bhai Tika, it is customary for sisters to worship their brothers and give tika to their brothers, and brothers also give gifts and dakshina to their sisters. This festival is believed to strengthen the love, harmony, intimacy and family relationship between brothers and sisters.
According to the Nepal Calendar Determination Development Committee, this year, the auspicious time for Bhai Tika is at 11:07 am. However, the committee has said that there is no obstacle to the tika at other times except the auspicious time.
According to religious beliefs, Bhai Tika is also known as Yama Dwitiya. This festival is related to the mythology associated with Yamraj and his sister Yamuna
