Bhai Dooj 2025, also known as Bhai Phonta, Bhaubeej, or Bratri Dwitiya, will be celebrated on Thursday, October 23. The festival marks the closing chapter of Diwali celebrations and honours the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters apply a ceremonial Tilak on their brothers’ foreheads, pray for their long life, and offer sweets, while brothers give gifts and promise lifelong protection. Rooted in ancient legends of Yamuna and Yama as well as Lord Krishna and Subhadra, Bhai Dooj symbolises love, respect, and the unbreakable connection between siblings that continues to enrich Indian culture and tradition.
