The Significance of Laxmi Puja & Bhai Tika
- Laxmi Puja represents spiritual and financial vitality. Cleaning and brightening homes clears out negative energy, allowing peace, harmony, and wealth to flourish.
- Bhai Tika is grounded in the legend of Goddess Yamuna praying for her brother, Lord Yamaraj, to live forever. Applying the tika and encircling brothers with oil and water symbolises creating a protective boundary against hardship and mortality.
