First perform Aarti of your brother and then apply Tilak on his forehead
On Rakshabandhan, the biggest festival of brother-sister love, sisters tie a protective thread on their brother’s wrist. They apply tilak and pray for his long life. In return, the brother promises to protect his sister for life. This tradition of tying a rakhi to the brother has been going on for centuries. Astrologer Amit Vyas said that before tying a rakhi to the brother, perform his aarti and then apply tilak on the forehead.
It is auspicious to tie Rakhi on the right hand
It is auspicious to tie a rakhi on the brother’s right hand. Because God accepts the work done with the right hand, such as charity etc. After this, brothers should touch the feet of their sisters. Along with this, there is also a tradition of brothers giving some gifts to sisters on this day. Like every year in Rajasthan, this time also the state government has given the gift of free travel in roadways buses within the state boundary on Rakhi for sisters and daughters. This discount will be applicable till 12 o’clock tonight.
