The festival of Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on October 26, two days after Diwali. The day also marks the culmination of the five-day-long Diwali festivities in many states. Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhaubeej, Bhai Tika and Bhai Phonta in different states, is a celebration of the strong bonding between a sister and a brother. The day is celebrated at Yama Dwitiya in south India.
According to Hindu beliefs, Bhai Dooj is the day when Lord Yama, the god of death, visited his sister Goddess Yamuna and received food from her hand. That’s why the day is celebrated by sisters for the long life, prosperity and well-being of their brothers. Bhai Dooj is celebrated on the second day or Dwitiya tithi of Shukla paksha in the month of Kartik, as per the Hindu calendar.
Exchanging gifts between brothers and sisters has become an essential part of Bhai Dooj celebrations. Here are a few gift ideas that you can try for this Bhai Dooj.
