More than 150 special mandap were prepared at Kashthamandap for the mass Bhaitika ceremony, according to Anjali Didi. Mandap is the special anointed place for seating the brothers during the Bhaitika rituals.


She shared that she offered the Bhaitika so that those who do not have sisters will not have to keep their foreheads without tika on this auspicious day commemorating the love and respect between brothers and sisters. 


Anjali Didi has been organising the mass Bhaitika programme on the day of Bhaitika, the last day of the five-day Yamapanchak or Tihar festivities, for the last 25 years.
