A crowd of Bhaitika Wearers at Balagopaleshwar Temple in Ranipokhari
The process of putting on and donning of bhaitika continues at Balagopaleshwar temple in Ranipokhari, Kathmandu. It is customary for those who do not have sisters to worship and accept Tika at Balagopaleshwar temple.
That is why Balagopaleshwar Temple in the middle of Ranipokhari opens only on the day of Bhaitika of Tihar. The management of puja and tika in the temple is arranged by the Kathmandu Metropolitan City.
