How We Celebrate Bhai Dooj?

Bhai Dooj, also known as bhaubeej or bhai phota, falls on the second day after Diwali and is similar in spirit to Raksha Bandhan. Sisters welcome their brothers with an elaborate thali for the Bhai Dooj ritual, which includes roli, rice, sweets, and diyas. The ceremony begins with the sister putting a tilak on her brother’s forehead, followed by exchanging sweets and gifts.

Post-rituals, families often gather for festive meals, laughter, and bonding. Bhai Dooj is not just about rituals; it’s about creating moments and showing appreciation. And that’s why selecting the right bhai dooj gift is so important. It’s a tangible expression of your affection and gratitude.
