Bhai Tika

The fifth and last day of Tihar is Bhai Tika, where sisters put tika on the foreheads of brothers, to ensure long life, and thank them for the protection they give.It is believed that Yamraj, the God of Death visited his sister Yamuna on this particular day.where she applied the auspicious tika on his forehead, garlanded him and fed him with special dishes. Together, they ate the sweets, talked and enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. While parting Yamraj gave her a special gift as a token of his love and in return Yami also gave him a lovely gift which she had made with her own hands. That day Yamraj announced that anyone who receives tilak from his sister will never be thrown to death on that day . A special garland is made for the brothers out of a flower that wilts only after a couple of months, symbolizing the sister's prayer for her brother's long life. Brothers sit on a floor while sisters perform their puja. The puja follows a traditional ritual in which sisters circle brothers dripping oil on the floor from a copper pitcher applying oil in brother's hair, then 7 color tika is applied on brothers forehead . Then brothers give tika to sisters in the same fashion along with exchange of gifts . This is practiced regardless of whether brother is younger or elder to the sister. Those without a sister or brother join relatives or friends for tika. This festival brings close relationship between brothers and sisters.
