Bhai Dooj is one of the most important Hindu festivals and is observed two days after Diwali. This year, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on October 26, 2022 (Wednesday).

Bhai Dooj is also known as Bhaiya Dooj, Bhau Beej, Bhatra Dwitiya, Bhai Phonta, Bhathru Dwithiya and Bhai Dwitiya across several parts of the country. 

Sisters apply tilak on their brothers’ foreheads and perform rituals like fast, puja and katha to wish their brothers a long and prosperous life. This is followed by brothers presenting gifts and promising to look out for their sisters. Besides this, Lord Chitragupta is also worshipped on this day. Lord Chitragupta is the Hindu deity tasked with keeping records of the actions of human beings and punishing or rewarding them accordingly.
