Greetings on Bhai Dooj!

Our greetings on Bhai Dooj!

The festival of Bhai Dooj (Hindi) or Bhau-beej (Marathi & Konkani) or Bhai Phota (Bengali) is celebrated by Hindus on the last day of the five-day-long Diwali festival. This is the second day of the bright fortnight or Shukla Paksha of the Hindu month of Kartika. On this day, sisters pray for their brothers to have long and happy lives by performing the Teeka ceremony, and brothers give gifts to their sisters.
