The Nepali festival Tihar is also known by many names such as Dipawali or as the festival of lights. It is a five-day festival, soon after the Dashain Festival, and is all about worshiping of different animals and the Hindu Goddess of Fortune or Wealth (Goddess Laxmi), and is also especially significant as a celebration of the relation between brothers and sisters. People are busy shopping for gifts, decorating homes and streets, playing cards with friends, resting and relaxing, and finally ending the festival with an exchange of a special temporary mark on forehead (tika). The last day of the festival is known as Tika day or popularly known as Bhai Tika day (Bhai in Nepali means Brother). Tihar is the festival when sisters wish a long life for their brothers.
