Bhai Dooj closes the Diwali sequence with the bond between sister and brother, recalling Yamuna’s welcome of her brother Yama. Like Dussehra it is dated by the afternoon *aparahna* window.
A sister applies a tilak to her brother’s forehead, offers sweets, and prays for his long life; he gives a gift in return. Bengal keeps it as Bhai Phota, Maharashtra as Bhau Beej.
