Holiday gyaan: Why do we celebrate Bhai Dooj?
Bhai Dooj is here! You have already met or plan to meet your sister today and if that is not possible you at least remember her on this day. She does a puja wherein she reads a story quietly from a book because traditionally, sisters aren't supposed to let their brothers hear the legends that spawn Bhai Dooj. Later, she puts on a teeka on your forehead, feeds you something sweet and then comes the time for eating and merry making!
But what are the legends that lead to the celebration of the festival, that falls on the fifth day of Diwali? Four stories are frequently quoted when one thinks about the festival that celebrates the bond of love between a brother and sister.
The legend of Yamaraj and Yamuna
It's this very legend that also gives the festival the name, Yama Dwiteeya. The God of Death, Yamaraj once went to visit his twin sister Yamuna. Seeing him, Yamuna offered an aarti and a gift to her brother
