It is a five-day-long festival and the second-largest after Dashain. This festival takes place in the month of Kartik, which falls between October and November.The Tihar Festival is not only a time for people to celebrate but also to honor and appreciate animals such as crows, dogs, cows, and oxen. The festival involves various customs and rituals to show respect and gratitude towards these animals.Story of Tihar Festival The Tihar festival has many stories surrounding its origin and traditions. One popular legend is related to Yama, the God of Death, and his sister, Yamuna.According to the legend, Yamuna and Yama were separated for a long time, and Yamuna used to send messages to her brother through a crow. She eagerly waited for news of her brother's well-being. Finally, the two siblings were reunited, and Yamuna welcomed her brother by adorning him with a five-colored tika and flowers as a sign of her love and respect for him. This act of Yamuna is said to have inspired the tradition of worshipping crows during the Tihar festival, as they were the messengers who brought the siblings together.In the legend of Yama and Yamuna, after Yamuna adorned her brother with a five-colored tika and flowers, she also encircled him with mustard oil, flowers, and Dubo (Cynodon Dactylon) and asked Yamaraj not to leave until the oil, flowers, and dubo had dried.Today, during the Tihar festival, sisters follow a similar ritual to ensure the longevity and prosperity of their brothers. They apply a five-colored tika on their brother's forehead and offer them Makhamali flowers, Mustard Oil, and Common walnuts, among other things. This tradition is known as Bhai Tika, and it celebrates the special bond between brothers and sisters.
