Kathmandu. The tradition of Bhai Tika, started by Anjali Didi, with the aim of giving Bhai Tika to brothers who are not sisters and who are away from their families, has entered the 28th year. She has been giving Bhai Tika to her brothers every year at the Gorakhnath premises of Maru Sattal in Basantapur, Kathmandu. <\/p>\n
In a conversation with Nepal News Bank on the occasion of Bhai Tika, Anjali Didi said that she started the collective Bhai Tika with the intention of sharing love, love and affection among her brothers while worshiping God. <\/p>\n
‘God bless you. I was able to do this work with the blessings of God so that I could give affection, love and affection to all my brothers by doing Bhai Tika,” she said. <\/p>\n
According to her, the tradition was initially started with the idea of giving Bhai Tika to 108 brothers. She said that after the number of participants increased from the second year, Sagoon and other materials were prepared for 208 people.<\/p>\n
She shared her experience that in the last 28 years, senior citizens between the ages of 80 and 101 have come to get Bhai Tika. She said that although some of the brothers who came before are no longer there, she is happy to see the participation and enthusiasm of the new generation of brothers. <\/p>\n
‘I feel that they have come with more enthusiasm now than before. Many of those who have been here for 25-28 years, some of them are not there now. But it is nice to see the new brothers coming with them with enthusiasm,” she said. <\/p>\n
She also said that on the occasion of the completion of 25 years of the collective Bhai Tika, she also said that she has given special honor to five brothers who have been coming for Bhai Tika continuously for the last 25 years. On this occasion, they were made to stand in the Shiva temple and apply Bhai Tika as a mark of respect. <\/p>\n
According to Anjali Didi, some brothers remember them by calling if they are unable to come to Bhai Tika for some reason. She said that if someone is not able to come to the temple, they reach home. <\/p>\n
‘I never thought that brothers would give so much love. As much as we loved and respected them, they also loved us. This love and affection has encouraged me even more,” she said. <\/p>\n
She said that she has received support from her family, sisters’ children and the media to continue this tradition. She said that the support of her family and the love of her brothers did not allow her to be disappointed with her work. <\/p>\n
He wants to continue the mass Bhai Tika as long as his age and health cooperate. “As long as God is with me, I will do it. I get vaccinated with my own hands as much as possible. If I can’t stand, I want to give tika to my brothers even if I am sitting on a chair,” she said. <\/p>\n
She has also wished a happy and happy life to all the brothers who come to receive Bhai Tika, saying that the blessings of the sister and the grace of God always remain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
