The month of Sawan is ongoing and will conclude with the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan. Every year, this sacred festival is celebrated on the full moon of the month of Sawan. This year it falls on August 19, Monday. This festival holds special significance for the brother-sister relationship. It is on this special day that a sister ties a sacred thread which is known as Rakhi. It is worth noting that before tying the Rakhi, the sister applies a tilak on her brother’s forehead. Due to a lack of awareness, many sisters apply the tilak in the wrong way. It is essential to keep certain important points in mind while applying the tilak, including which finger to use. Let us learn about the important aspects of tilak from Bhopal astrologer Pandit Yogesh Chaure.
Which finger should be used to apply the tilak?
According to the astrologer, the most important thing that is needed to keep in mind while applying the tilak on the brother’s forehead is the selection of the fingers. If the brother is older than the sister, then the tilak should be applied using the ring finger, the finger next to the little finger, in which engagement rings are traditionally worn. On the other hand, if the brother is younger and the sister is older then the tilak should be applied using the thumb.
Importance of using the correct finger for the tilak:
According to religious beliefs, when a sister uses the correct finger to apply tilak on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, it has a positive impact on the brother’s life. The astrologer mentioned that when a younger sister applies the tilak using her ring finger, it brings happiness and prosperity into his life. When the older sister applies the tilak with the correct finger, it brings progress in the brother’s life.
Additionally, ensure that the tilak is applied in a straight line and not crooked. After applying the tilak, rice grains should also be placed on it, as the tilak is considered incomplete without them.
