The auspicious charm of twinkling lights, classic chandeliers, ethnic wear, colorful rangolis, and eco-friendly crackers oozes the festivity in India. Bhai Dooj, the day falling on the second lunar day of the Shukla Paksha after Diwali, marks the bond of love and protection.
Brothers and sisters share the most beautiful and purest forms of love. It’s your siblings who stand with and save you during testing times but also push you ahead to get scolded by mom.
To strengthen this unique and elvish relation, Kessa is here to create magic in your celebrations.
Let’s look at some quirky ways to celebrate Bhai Dooj:
Rituals and traditions
Our lovely diversified Indian culture welcomes and celebrates festivals in different ways with great fervor and happiness. Ritually, the sisters beautify the seating for her brother and adorn his forehead with Tika. Following that, they exchange gifts and sweets and promise to protect their sisters for a lifetime.
Meanwhile, in Bihar, the ceremony of this beautiful occasion is strange. The believers of Hindu mythology say Yama (God of death) takes away the good souls or those who have never been cursed by anyone. Thus, on the day of Bhai Dooj (Yama Dwitiya), sisters hurl and curse their brothers for long life. To repent their curse, sisters get their tongues pierced and brothers offer gifts to bless them.
Add joy and happiness to the celebrations with:
- Decorations
Festive decorations add liveliness and fill in happiness all around. Lighting and diyas are unfading elements to enlighten your home. This year, go basic and classic by ornamenting entrances with the fragrance of flowers. You can also try Torans made with mango leaves and Marigold flowers to decor the entrance.
The blend of fresh and fragrant flowers feels courteous to please and welcome the deities on any auspicious occasion.
