Bhai Dooj is one of those warm, heartfelt festivals that, much like Raksha Bandhan, highlights the unique bond between siblings. Every year, families eagerly await this day when sisters gently apply tilak to their brothers' foreheads, wishing them a long, happy, and healthy life. It's celebrated on the second day (Dwitiya) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik, and this year, it falls on November 3, 2024.
Diwali is a 5-day celebration that starts with Govatsa Dwadashi and concludes with Bhai Dooj. Across India, it's known by various names like Bhau Beej, Bhatri Dwitiya, Bhai Dwitiya, and Yam Dwitiya. No matter what name it goes by, the core of the celebration is always the same-sibling love.
