Holi Bhai dooj 2025

In Indian culture, several festivals are dedicated to the love and affection between brothers and sisters, among which Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj, celebrated after Diwali, hold special significance.

Holi Bhai Dooj, observed right after Holi, is a symbol of the bond between brothers and sisters. This festival is celebrated on the Dwitiya Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Chaitra and is also known as Bhratri Dwitiya (Bhai Dooj). On this day, sisters apply tilak on their brothers' foreheads and pray for their long life, while brothers give them gifts and pledge to protect them.

According to ancient beliefs, when a sister applies tilak to her brother on Bhai Dooj, it increases his lifespan and removes all obstacles from his life. This festival is also associated with the legend of Lord Yama and his sister Yamuna. As per the story, on this day, Lord Yama visited his sister Yamuna, and he granted a boon that any brother who receives tilak from his sister on this day will be free from the fear of untimely death and will be relieved from all kinds of sufferings.
