In Swanti, the fifth day Kija Puja is dedicated to whom?

In Swanti, the fifth day, Kija Puja, is dedicated to brothers.

Swanti is the five-day Newar festival of Nepal and is related to Tihar and Diwali. Its sequence honors animals, deities, the self, and family members. Kija Puja is the final day and centers on the bond between sisters and their brothers, especially younger brothers.

During the ceremony, sisters worship a mandala, present long-burning wicks, sacred threads, and fruit baskets, and offer their brothers Sagan, a set of auspicious foods. The brothers traditionally respond with gifts such as cash and clothing. The ritual is sometimes compared with Bhai Dooj, but Kija Puja belongs specifically to Newar Swanti traditions and has its own ceremonial details.
