Kathmandu, This festival is celebrated with special enthusiasm on the last day of the festival i.e. Kartik Shukla II. In this festival, there is a tradition of worshiping sister to brother and sister to brother and also brother to sister and brother to sister with special respect, feeding them sweets and sweets, giving alms and clothes to sisters. In ancient times, Sister Yamuna found her feelings on this day.

There is a religious significance to worshiping brother Yamaraj with special respect. We have a religious belief that Yamaraj stays in Yamuna's house for five days of Yamapanchak. There is also a story that Indradi Dash Dikpal left his kingdom for the sacrifice king during these five days. On the day of Bhai Tihar, the worship of Kalash and Ganesha, invocation of Yamaraj, use of bimiro, okhar, oil, velvet garland, duboko tika, katus etc. involves the wish of happiness, health and longevity of one's sisters and brothers.

Bhaitika's Legend In ancient times, King Yamaraj of Death came to visit his sister Yamana. Yamraj lived in Yamlok while Yamuna lived on earth. So Yamuna invited him to meet Yamaraj. It was raining at that time. Where did Yamuna stay for five years? On the day of Bhaitika, Yamuna worshiped her brother and gave him gifts and received blessings from him. The festival has been celebrated since then.

Bhaitika is seen as a way to meet brothers who have not met for a long time, to get rid of the tension in the relationship and to make the relationship more lasting. On the fifth day of Yamapanchaka, Bhaitika falls. On the day before sister Bhaitika, betel nut etc. are given to the brothers as an invitation to Bhaitika. On the day of Bhaitika, one should not eat anything without vaccination. Ashtachiranjeevi should be worshiped by taking a bath in the morning on the day of vaccination. Yamaraj, Hanuman, Vibhishan, Parashuram fall within the Ashta Chiranjeevi.

To make bhiti, you need okhar, mustard oil, bimira, spices, velvet, dubo and centipede garlands, bread, sweet and savory dishes. First of all, worship Bimara by worshiping Diyo, Kalash and Ganesha. Then, wishing good luck to the brothers, one should block the way of time by worshiping Okhar and Yamaraj at the door. Water and oil should block the seven sieges. Flowers, inviolability, sandalwood and lava should be worshiped and oil should be applied on the head of the brother. Yogurt should be given as a sign.

The velvet, centipede and dubo garlands worn by the brothers on the day of Bhaitika have a special significance. The velvet never withers, the color of the centipede never fades and the dubo always stays green. Sisters wish their brothers success, health, and longevity. Saptarangi Tika says that peace is mixed with emotion. It is believed that love for one's brother is as deep and healthy as color. The sisters give the brothers a Dhaka hat. It prolongs life and reflects nationality. Gifts are exchanged after vaccination. Those who do not have brothers or sisters worship at the temple at Rani Pokhari.
