Description
Bhai Tika is one of the most significant days of Nepal’s second-largest festival. It is a cherished tradition where sisters honor their brothers, expressing gratitude for their love and support, and in return, receive gifts. On this day, sisters apply tika to their brothers’ foreheads as a symbol of protection and blessings.
The tika often consists of seven colors, known as saptarangi tika. Along with the tika, sisters offer garlands of flowers and makhamali mala. They also present sweets, fruits, chocolates, and masala poka while performing traditional rituals. In return, brothers give gifts, which may include money or other presents.
Among the Newah community in Kathmandu, the celebration follows the same spirit, with the addition of beautifully crafted mandalas and other traditional customs.
