Bhai Dooj 2022: Significance


Story of Lord Krishna and Subhadra


Lord Krishna visited his sister Subhadra after slaying the demon King Narakasura, who welcomed him with gifts including sweets and flowers. She lovingly kissed Krishna's forehead and handed him a dry coconut, which is a sign of good fortune. From that point forward, Bhai Dooj was celebrated.


Story of Yama and Yamuna


The God of Death Yama once paid a visit to his sister Yamuna. She gave her brother Yama a tilak and fed him special meals that she had prepared herself. Given that they hadn't seen each other in a while, they ate dinner together, chatted, and gave gifts to one another. Yamraj requested a blessing from his sister after obtaining this level of love and adoration from her. In response, Yamuna wished that her brother would pay her a visit every year and that any sisters who perform the rites of the tilak and other ceremonies would not be afraid of Yamraj, the god of death.


Hearing his sister's sweet wishes, Yamraj blessed his sister and granted her the wish and announced that whoever performs the tilak ceremony on this day will get a long and prosperous life. This is why Bhai Dooj is celebrated.
