On November 11, 2026, Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhai Tika, was celebrated across India, marking the special bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters applied tilak on their brothers' foreheads, performed aarti, and prayed for their well-being. Brothers reciprocated with gifts and affection. The festival, observed on the Dwitiya Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik, is rooted in the mythological story of Yama, the god of death, and his sister Yamuna. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended warm greetings, highlighting the sweetness and warmth of the bond between siblings.
