BHAI DOOJ 2020

 Bhai Dooj/ Bhau Beej/ Bhaiya Dooj/Yama Ditiya is celebrated on the second day of the Shukla Paksha of the Kartik month, which is last day of the five day long Diwali Festival. 

It is made up of two words namely- "Bhai" meaning brother and "Dooj" meaning the second day after the new moon.

On this day, sisters first perform aarti of their brothers and apply a red tika on the brother's forehead, brothers shower love, blessings and also presents to their sisters.

There are few Hindu mythological based stories related to the origin of this auspicious day.

                                          According to one Hindu Mythology ,Yamraj (God of Death), was called up by his sister Yamuna several times for a meeting but he could not go. However, when he finally was able to visit her, she was very happy and welcomed him with love and respect and wished him well by applying a ceremonial tilak on Yama's forehead.

                                   Second legend states that, Lord Krishna went to see his sister Subhadra, after slaying the demon, Narakasura. Subhadra welcomed him with aarti and put vermillion on his forehead.

                                                                                             Another folk tale states that, Mahabali asked Lord Vishnu for a boon which would require Vishnu to be present at every door of Patalaloka as Dwarpalaka. When Goddess Laxmi learnt of it, she went to Bali seeking help. Bali accepted her as his sister and released Lord Vishnu from his service.
