Bhaiya Dooj celebrated
New
Delhi: Bhaiya Dooj was celebrated across the country
today even as sister prayed for long life for their
brothers. They applied tilak on the brothers' forehead,
offered them sweets, and in return the latter gave
them gifts. The festival symbolises the strong family
ties that scriptures advocate for Hindu families.
It also celebrates the bond and affection between
sisters and brothers. A young girl Nancy said that
she wished long life for her brother. "Bhaiya Dooj
is a very important festival for us. We do this for
the long life of our brothers," said Nancy, a girl,
who offered special prayers for her brothers. "For
a brother, it means more responsibility towrds her
sister. It means a lot of grace anf it is a very graceful
relationship," said Indrajeet. The festival falls
on the next day of Diwali.
