NEW DELHI: Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhau-Beej, Bhai Tika or Bhai Phonta is a day that celebrates love between brother and sister, just like Raksha Bandhan. It is celebrated two days after Diwali. This year, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on November 9. On Bhai Dooj, sisters invite their brothers home and apply ‘teeka’ or ‘tilak‘ on their foreheads, and pray for their long life. They also wear festive clothes, prepare festive food and get gifts for their brothers. Brothers also give gifts to their sisters and pray for their well-being and prosperity. The festival is called Bhau Beej among Gujarati, Marathi and Konkani-speaking communities, Bhai Phonta among Bengalis and Bhai Teeka in Nepal.
Nowadays, during the Bhai Duj, brothers and sisters send greetings to each other through phone and congratulate themselves via messages or Greetings. With this, some siblings place status for each other and share their old photographs.

Bhai Dooj Wishes and Greetings in Hindi
बहन लगाती तिलक फिर मिठाई खिलाती है
भाई देता तोहफा और बहन मुस्कुराती है
भाई-बहन का ये रिश्ता न पड़े कभी लूज
मेरी तरफ से मुबारक हो आपको भाई दूज
Happy Bhai Dooj
अभी नहीं आये तो चली जाऊंगी मैं
फिर शायद ना कभी लौट के आ पाऊंगी मैं
माना के तू दूर है बॉर्डर पर कहीं
मगर तेरे बिन ना तेरा घर छोड़ पाऊंगी मैं
Happy Bhai Dooj 2018
खुशनसीब होती है वो बहन
जिसके सिर पर भाई का हाथ होता है
हर परेशानी में उसके साथ होता है
लड़ना-झगड़ना फिर प्यार से मनाना
तभी तो इस रिश्ते में इतना प्यार होता है
Happy Bhai Dooj 2018
