The festival of Bhai Dooj is considered very special in Hinduism. It is a symbol of love between brother and sister. Bhai Dooj is celebrated on the last day (Bhai Dooj) of the five-day Diwali festival. On this day, sisters apply tilak on the forehead of their brothers and prepare delicious food for them. At the same time, brothers give gifts to their sisters, and make an indelible promise to protect them. According to religious beliefs, on this day (Bhai Dooj Date 2024), brothers must also eat food at their sisters' house, which is an important part of this festival, so let's know the reason behind it.

Why should one eat at sister's house?
