Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhaiya Dooj, Bhai Tika and Bhau Beej, is celebrated on the second lunar day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik.

The festival honours the relationship between siblings, with sisters traditionally applying tilak to their brothers and praying for their well-being.

According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Yamuna welcomed her brother, Lord Yama, to her home for a meal.

Pleased with her hospitality, Yama blessed her, a legend associated with the festival’s origin.
