Tihar
there are various stories about the
celebration of Tihar. One of the famous stories behind the celebration
of tihar is related to Yama the god of death and his sister Yamuna. Yama
had been staying away from his sister for a long time. His sister
wanted to meet him so she asked various sources to visit him and ask him
to give her a visit. She sent crow, dog, and cow and at the end she
went herself to see her brother. She worshipped him with tika and
flowers, she put him five colored tika. Yamuna made a circle with
mustard oil, Dubo Grass (Cynodon Dactylon) and put Makhmali Mala (Globe
Amaranth) and asked Yamaraj not to go till the oil, Dubo Grass and the
flower gets dry. Therefore, every sister worships her brother keeping
him in the circle of mustard oil, putting mala (garland) of Makhmali
flower and Dubo grass.
