About Bhaiya Dooj

Bhaiya Dooj is the final, fifth day of the Diwali festival, dedicated to the sacred bond between brothers and sisters.

It is rooted in the legendary meeting between Lord Yama (God of Death) and his sister Yamuna.

Sisters apply a protective Tilak on their brother's forehead and feast together.

Step-by-Step Fasting Procedures:

Sisters apply a Tilak on their brother's forehead and perform his Aarti.
It is highly auspicious for the brother to visit his sister's house and eat a meal prepared by her hands to be protected from untimely death.
