Bhai Dooj is a Hindu festival celebrated to strengthen the bond between brothers and sisters. Also known as Bhai Tika or Bhai Phota in different regions of India, it falls on the second day after Diwali. The festival involves sisters applying a tika on their brothers' foreheads and performing aarti to pray for their well-being.

On this day, brothers pledge to protect and support their sisters, while sisters pray for the long life and prosperity of their brothers. To make the occasion special, sisters exchange gifts and sweets with their brothers. The festival is marked by family gatherings, feasting, and sharing heartfelt wishes for each other's happiness and success.
