Bhai Dooj 2025: These sacred temples in India are a must-visit for brothers and sisters..

Bhai Dooj 2025: The festival of lights begins with Dhanteras and culminates on Bhai Dooj. This five-day festival is a celebration of love, light, and family bonds. This year, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on October 23, 2025. As the name suggests, this festival symbolizes the affection and unbreakable bond between brothers and sisters. Like Raksha Bandhan, this festival is a fast of love and protection, with the only difference being that instead of tying a rakhi, the sister applies a tilak (a mark of love) on her brother's forehead and performs aarti (aarti).
