Do you know why Bhaiphota is given with a little finger?

By A Staff Reporter : Tika on Bhai Dooj isplaced on the foreheads of the brothers with the smallest of the five fingers.But do you know the reason?

In Hinduism it is said that the five fingers of our hand represent the five senses.These five senses are ksiti, apa, tej, marut , vyom. It is said that the little finger of our hand is a symbol of space.Myths also say that brother-sister relationship is like the infinite love of space. For this reason, sisters put drops on the foreheads of brothers with their little finger.
