Kathmandu. Today is the fifth day of Bhai Tika i.e. Yamapanchak. In the Vedic period, the day Yamraj went to get tika with his sister Yamuna is celebrated as Bhai Tika. Although there is no obstacle to apply the tika of Bhai Tika throughout the day, the auspicious time of 11:07 am is best for those looking for an auspicious time.
There is a religious belief that Yamuna wished for the long life of her brother Yamraj by wearing a seven-colored tika symbolizing the seven colors of the never-withering flower, velvet garland, and the never-setting sun. In memory of this day, the people of the earth have been celebrating Tihar or Bhai Tika.
On this day, sisters apply Bhai Tika wishing for the long life of their brothers. After applying Bhai Tika, it is customary for brothers to give money or gifts to their sisters according to their ability. Similarly, it is customary for sisters to give tika and garlands to brothers and give gifts of spices. Yamapanchakam is also coming to an end from here.
