About Bhai Tika (Tihar)

Bhai Tika is the final and most significant day of the Tihar festival in Nepal, celebrating the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. During this ritual, sisters apply a multi-colored tika to their brothers' foreheads and offer garlands to wish them long life and prosperity. It is a widely observed cultural and religious tradition that strengthens family ties and communal harmony.
