The history of Bhaidooj seems to be as old as of Diwali. It is believed that Lord Yama- the king of death paid a visit to his loving sister Yami on this day, who welcomed him by putting a holy tikka on his forehead followed by an aarti. They had lavish feast together and spent time talking to each other for the rest of the day. Lord Yama was touched by his sister\u2019s gesture and blessed her. He declared that any brother visiting his sister on this day would be saved from the fire of hell.<\/p>\n

If you check the history of other countries, no where across the world the bond of love has been glorified the way it is done here in India. Hindus celebrate this exceptional relationship two times in year, once on Raksha Bandhan which falls in the month of August and then again in October-November with the festival of bhai dooj. Bhai dooj is celebrated on the fifth and last day of 5-day long celebration of Diwali. It has been referred to as ‘Dooj’ as it falls on the second day after the new moon, while ‘Bhai’ means brother. Hence, on this day, sisters pray for the long life and well being of their brothers and seek protection of Almighty against all that\u2019s evil.<\/p>\n
