The festival of Bhai Dooj is considered very special in Sanatan Dharma. This day is a symbol of sacred love between brother and sister. Bhai Dooj is the last day (Bhai Dooj) of the five-day Diwali festival. On this day, sisters apply tilak to their brothers and prepare dishes for them. At the same time, brothers give gifts to their sisters, and make an indelible promise to protect them. According to religious beliefs, worshiping Goddess Yamuna and bathing in her holy water on this day (Bhai Dooj Date 2024) is considered very virtuous.

It is said that those who worship the Goddess duly on this auspicious occasion and recite Yamuna Chalisa during the puja never get an untimely death. Also, the evil eye of Yam Dev does not fall on them, so let's read here.
