Days are incomplete without having a fight with your brother. But they are also incomplete without your sister’s problem solving wonders. The brother-sister bond is such that the friendly banters and unending love is all included into a single package that is celebrated with high zest throughout India as Bhai Dooj.
When is Bhai Dooj Celebrated?
Bhai Dooj, celebrated as Bhau Beej, Bhai Phonta and Ningol Chakuba in different parts of our diverse nation, is celebrated on the second lunar day of ‘Shukla paksh’. This day brings an end to the Diwali festivities which gets drawn to almost five days and generally falls on the second day after the festival of lights.
Know the Customs
In Hindu mythology, bhai dooj is associated with the story of Yamraj and his sister Yamuna. When Yamraj finally met Yamuna after a long time, he was welcomed with a tika ceremony and grand celebration. Upon being asked for a gift in return, Yamuna asked him to commemorate the day every year by visiting her.
Thus, on this day, brothers visit their sisters and the latter put tilak on their brother’s forehead. Greetings and blessings are exchanged. Sweets and delicious delicacies are prepared for a fun-filled feast. Very close to Raksha Bandhan, on this day, siblings pray for the good-health and wellbeing of each other.
