AgenciesBhai Dooj, also known as Yama Dwitiya or Bhai Phota, is one of the five-day Diwali celebrations. Drik Panchang says that, on Bhaiya Dooj, sisters perform a teeka ritual to wish their brothers a long and good life, while brothers give presents to their sisters.
Yamraj, the God of Death in Hindu mythology, was summoned by his sister Yamuna but was unable to attend to her. When he finally arrived to meet her, Yamraj was greeted with delicious food. He asked his sister if she wanted a boon after receiving love and respect from her. She requested that one day each year be dedicated to her, when he would pay her a visit without fail. Since then, the day has been celebrated as Bhai Dooj as a festival of love between brother and sister.
Here are some wishes for the day that you can share:
