Bhai Dooj, an auspicious Hindu festival, is observed on the second lunar day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartika, with celebrations noted on October 23.
The festival is also recognized by various regional names, including Bhai Tika, Bhai Phonta, Bhratri Dwitiya, Bhaubeej, and Bhai Beej. Its significance is rooted in a popular legend that describes Goddess Yamuna inviting her brother Yamaraj to her home for a feast on this particular day. According to tradition, this event is believed to have resulted in the liberation of all living beings from suffering and their subsequent gratification.
