Bhai Tika Feast: Sel Roti and Bhai Masala for Brothers Today
Today is Bhai Tika, the final day of Tihar, and sisters across Nepal are marking it with a feast for their brothers. After the seven-colour tika and the makhamali garland, brothers are served sel roti, sweets and fruit, along with bhai masala, the gift of dry fruits and nuts.
The festive plates cost more this year. Pistachios have climbed to around Rs 3,500 to Rs 3,600 a kilo in Kathmandu, up from about Rs 2,200 last year, as demand peaks for the festival. The official time for the tika today is 11:07 in the morning.
