## About Bhai Dooj

Bhai Dooj (Bhau Beej, Bhai Phonta) closes the Diwali festival. Sisters apply tilak to their brothers and pray for their long life, and brothers give gifts in return, much like Raksha Bandhan.

## How the date is decided

Bhai Dooj falls on Kartika Shukla Dwitiya, two days after Diwali. In 2027 it falls on Sunday, 31 October 2027.
