BHAI DOOJ HINDU BROTHER SISTER RITUAL

• The fifth and the last day of Diwali puja is
  known as Bhai dooj or Bhai teeka. On this day the
  sisters pamper their brothers and vice versa.
  This is performed on the next day of
  the Govardhan Puja.
• The historical significance of this festivity
  goes like this. Many years ago, during the Vedic
  era, it is believed that Lord Yamaraj, the God of
  death, had paid a visit to his sister Yamuna on
  this day.
• He blessed her with a boon that whosoever would
  visit her on this day would be freed from all his
  sacrileges and would attain salvation. Since
  then, it has been a custom for brothers to visit
  their sisters place to know of her welfare and
  whereabouts on this day.

BHAI DOOJ HINDU BROTHER SISTER RITUAL

• Bhai Dooj is a day dedicated to the special bond
  which a brother and sister share. This makes this
  day absolutely unique in itself. This day
  signifies and stands as testimony for the strong
  love bond which Lord Yamaraj shared with his
  sister Yamuna or Yami.
• It was after many decades of separation that the
  Lord had visited his sister on this day. The
  latter showed extreme love, warmth and
  hospitality to her brother, who was extremely
  moved by it.
• She put a tilak on his forehead, to felicitate
  the occasion and welcomed him with full fanfare
  and respect. Lord Yama blessed his sister by
  saying that from now on whosoever visited his
  sister on this day would gain a long life for
  him.
