    Bhai Tika Observed In Nepal

    A Nepali Hindu receives a multi-colored tika on the forehead, marking the day of Bhaitika, the concluding day of Tihar, the five-day festival of lights, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 3, 2024. Also known as Yama Dwitiya, Bhai Tika is dedicated to honoring the bond between brothers and sisters, with sisters placing multi-colored tika on their brothers' foreheads, praying for their long life, health, and prosperity. During the ritual, brothers sit within a circle of mustard oil, symbolizing protection, as their sisters apply colorful tika and place garlands made of dubo (doob grass), marigold, and makhamali (globe amaranth flowers) around their necks. Sisters then offer special treats such as sweets, dry fruits, and sel--a traditional fried bread. In return, brothers also apply tika to their sisters' foreheads, giving them gifts and blessings.
