Bhai Dooj: 23rd October

Happy Bhai Dooj

Bhai Dooj, celebrated a day after Diwali, is a special festival honoring the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters pray for their brothers’ long life and prosperity, often applying a ceremonial tilak on their foreheads, while brothers give gifts in return. The festival strengthens sibling relationships and is marked with love, sweets, and family gatherings. In many parts of India, Bhai Dooj is a time to express gratitude, share joy, and celebrate the lifelong bond of care and protection between brothers and sisters.
